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.

There are some fees associated with the program. These fees are for specific activities (i.e. bowling, cooking programs, eating out, or attending amusement attractions, etc.)

Unfortunately the only participants eligible to participate in the program must be referred.
