Am I eligible for Access Resources Services?

Our services are accessed through referral from Community Living BC (CLBC). Following their set protocols, CLBC establishes services eligibility. Eligibility is multi-faceted and not based on single determinants like IQ or adaptive behaviour assessments - these are only part of the overall eligiblity assessment.
