The IVT program aims to provide adults with a developmental delay in the S.D.G. region a structured environment that allows them to acquire more independence and social skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of the program is to engage participants to learn the basic rules and behaviors deemed necessary to be able to function minimally in society; socializing with others and the development of independence are privileged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal of the program is to allow each participant to achieve a certain level of social inclusion by identifying goals and having an active participation in the community through community work or activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The participant must have an intellectual delay as determined by formal assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participant must be 18 years old and reside in SDG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The participant must have sufficient mobility to be able to move around (e.g., wheelchair, walker); they must also be able to meet some personal hygiene needs at a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The access services in the region determine the eligibility of the participant; if the participant is deemed eligible, he is directed to the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Access Services inform IVT staff of the participant\u2019s level of functioning and their priority level on the waiting list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Program Director receives the participant as well as their parent or guardian for a functional assessment aimed at confirming the participant\u2019s eligibility according to the admission criteria; once the eligibility is confirmed, the admission process can continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
