Approach & Practice

Even though our name and the programs we offer have seen changes over time, one thing has stayed the same – our dedication to fostering a community where everyone is included and valued.

Here at CLA, we’re firm believers that relationships are central to creating community inclusion and are therefore a key focus of our work. We understand that inclusion can take many pathways and can look different for everyone. There is no one-size-fits-all solution and that is okay.

Our approach is adaptive and developmental. We offer a diverse range of programs and are also open to exploring different options to best support our constituent. We work together with them to find solutions for the challenges they encounter.
