Our Programs

Fostering Community Inclusion

At Inclusion Parksville Society we provide support to adults with developmental disabilities (diversabilities) who are eligible for Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) services. Our range of programs and person-centered services ensure that there is a place for everyone to participate and feel included in our community. We offer group programs as well as programs that offer one-to-one services. In all programs, participants are supported to set and achieve goals.
