Does Your Child Have a Developmental Disability? There is a Handbook to Help.

Saskatchewan Association for Community Living presentsNavigating the System: An Advocacy Handbook for Parents of Children with Intellectual DisabilitiesThird Edition

After receiving and coming to terms with a diagnosis of intellectual disability for our children, we are faced with a steep learning curve.

One of the fi rst things we must learn about is the extensive system of organizations and services available or, in many cases, unavailable, in our community.

As in life, there are no textbooks to tell you exactly what you need to know to be successful; however, now there is an updated handbook to assist you in the learning process thanks to the Grassroots Alliance and the SACL.

They have recognized the value of the experience of parents who have come face to face with these same challenges before us and compiled this information into an understandable and user-friendly format.
