Inclusion Yukon
Advocacy, Employment, and Inclusion
Inclusion Yukon works to create inclusive and accessible communities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They do so by connecting intellectually and developmentally disabled people with advocates who help them access resources in areas such as healthcare, housing, and education.
Broad employment services are available, including self-employment support; inclusive employment support and job coaching; transition support for youth; and social enterprises that hire autistic and intellectually disabled people.
Inclusion Yukon also maintains a list of respite workers and matches them with families in need and provides personal support such as groceries and house cleaning.
