What We Do

To foster family leadership and advocacy in the pursuit of fully inclusive community lives for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

We are committed to enabling children and adults with intellectual disabilities and their families to have every opportunity for a good life in community. We facilitate inclusion and advocate for the resources and supports needed to ensure every possibility for a meaningful life.

Inclusion Alberta works together with many government and community partners, including schools and school divisions, universities and colleges, businesses and business leaders, Rotary Clubs and Rotarians, municipalities and community leaders to create welcoming and inclusive communities.
