Services offered for disabilities and impairments

The welcome brochure for users contains general information on our intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder and physical disability (ID-ASD-PD) services. It helps users understand the steps involved in their service pathway and provides guidance on the available resources.
This reference tool is useful for all individuals with an intellectual disability, ASD or physical disability, as well as for those receiving services within our organization.
