Diverse Abilities Registration

Diverse Abilities (DA), formerly known as SKIP, is a portfolio within the Social Welfare Board. DA provides support for individuals with disabilities and their families. Disabilities include but are not limited to physical, intellectual, and/or sensory. Barriers in society can hinder individuals with disabilities from participating fully in activities within their community.

To reduce barriers, people with disabilities and their families require a platform to raise awareness and ensure community inclusion. DA provides a forum where people with disabilities and their families can collaborate and share experiences and ideas to support one another. The program aims to assist persons with disabilities and their families by advocating for inclusion and fostering community awareness to mitigate the potential for community isolation.

DA provides support through creating Community Connections such as information sharing on institutional support, external agencies, funding resources, and collaboration with other boards and portfolios. DA advocates for inclusion through events, training and education opportunities, and supporting community participation.
