Welcome to the Prince Edward Island Association for Community Living Website!!

The Association aims to strengthen the capacities of communities to include and support people with intellectual disabilities and their families in all aspects of the community.

Formed over 50 years ago, the Association strives to improve the quality of life for all Islanders living with an intellectual disability.

As Community Living Advocates, our role is to:

  • Promote inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities within the community, and direct people to the appropriate services
  • Monitor, lobby for, and respond to new legislation, policies, and budget allocations on the provincial and national levels
  • Assist parents and educators in the development of the Individual Education Planning (IEP), Individual Vocational Planning (IVP)
  • Prepare and present position papers to municipal, provincial, and federal governments
  • Assist in developing parent support groups

 

We all belong to community living for one reason- to support the full inclusion of people who are identified as having an intellectual disability in all aspects of life.
