Developing tools and training for the person-centered support of vulnerable populations is the focus of IntellectAbility. Pioneers and innovators in the person-centered health and wellness arena, IntellectAbility offers training courses, webinars and materials to improve the lives of people with IDD.
 
Even when post-secondary institutions put these programs in place, there is still a specific skillset required among staff involved to provide a person-centered thinking approach that will amplify intellectual disability services and allow them to effectively reach the person. Person-centered thinking training and support ensures these institutions are maximizing opportunities for each student’s success.
