Service Description
Works with people with intellectual disabilities and helps them access a variety of community-based services. Staff work to ensure that the physical, emotional, and social needs of people with intellectual disabilities are met and that they are able to live independently as possible within their own communities.
Works with partners to create and enhance programs and to connect people with services. Some options include:
- Approved Private Service Homes
- Group Homes
- Group Living Homes
- Supported Living Programs
- Day Programs
Each person who meets eligibility requirements will be assigned a Community Services Worker who provides a broad range of support including:
- Individualized support, counselling, and crisis intervention
- Assessment of individual and family needs
- Development and support of Approved Private-Service Homes
- Family support services such as counselling, respite planning, and referrals
- Co-ordination of planning and services with individuals, families, CBOs, and other stakeholders
Note: Funding for services is distributed based on urgency and priority of needs. Self-Directed Funding is an option where funding is provided directly to adults with intellectual disabilities so they can have increased choice and control over the supports and services that best suit their needs.
Eligibility
Children and adults with a diagnosis of intellectual disability with an onset before age 18. Eligibility is established on the basis of assessment documentation and requires an assessment report from a duly qualified medical practitioner or a qualified professional with an Authorized Practice Endorsement designation that substantiates the diagnosis of intellectual disability. Young children with the diagnosis of global developmental delay and/or children considered untestable may be eligible for services. This is determined on a case-by-case basis. In situations where a child has a diagnosis of global developmental delay or is considered untestable, formal documentation from a qualified professional is required.
Application Process
Referrals can be made by the individual, family with consent of the individual when they are 18+, and/or others with the consent of the individual or family if the individual is a child.
Phone your Community Living Service Delivery regional office and ask to speak with someone about an initial request for service.
