Community Inclusion Program (CIP)
Program Overview
The Community Inclusion Program allows individuals who have a developmental disability to discover what groups there are in their community that they could join. We explore the options available, teach program participants how to join and attend groups. When participants are connected, we fade out the supports.
What to Expect
- Informal questionnaires and assessments to determine recreation and volunteer interests
- Tours and informational interviews
- Assistance to create a recreation/leisure plan
- On-site support to successfully connect to activities of interest
Who is this program for?
Adults aged 18 years and older who have a developmental disability, have been referred by Community and Social Services (Disability Services), and have a desire to connect with their community
