LiveWorkPlay

LiveWorkPlay offers supports and services to individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. The supports we offer are very important, but our vision of a more inclusive society calls us to be more than a service provider. LiveWorkPlay is also a supportive, active, responsive, caring, dynamic and inclusive community of members, self-advocates, families, caregivers, staff, volunteers, community partners and funders.

We are a movement of individuals and groups working together to promote inclusive communities and positive attitudes about people with intellectual disabilities locally, provincially, nationally, and worldwide. We want to broaden and improve life opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities and reduce barriers to citizenship and community inclusion. It is all about having a good life!
