A recent interim report on the Integrated Adult Services (IAS) pilot project emphasizes the need for significant systemic changes to support individuals with disabilities in Manitoba.
The report marked the mid-way point of a 30-month project proposed by the Government of Manitoba to work towards the resolution of a Human Rights Complaint filed by Amelia Hampton and Tyson Sylvester in July 2016.
A new Model is being developed from this report to identify the gaps in support and service for adults with complex disability-related needs in Manitoba.
This Report has six key points to address:
- Removing Barriers to Adult Disability Services
- Addressing Inadequate Income Supports
- Enhancing Disability Services in Rural Manitoba
- Ensuring Public Buildings and Spaces are Fully Accessible
- Enhancing Coordination and Integration of Service Provision
- Implementing System Navigation Services
The interim summary report notes these points are crucial for fostering a more inclusive environment for individuals with disabilities in Manitoba.
