**BI’s The Hub for Community Inclusion**:The Hub for Community Inclusion is an innovative 5-day a week program for young adults with autism and developmental disabilities that is premised on the belief that learning occurs when a person is stimulated, active and having fun. The program runs Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, and also available on a part-time basis. Each day is organized with two outings and two teaching periods (e.g. conversational training, how to use an iPad to communicate, how to prepare a meal). The purpose of the day program is to provide young adults with developmental disabilities with a supportive and enriching community experience that builds life skills and independence. We value inclusion, accountability, and individualization of supports. Services associate with the Hub are goal-directed, evaluated and built on principles of applied behaviour analysis.
