Community Living BC (CLBC) is a Crown agency that delivers supports and services to adults with developmental disabilities and their families in British Columbia.

CanAssist and CLBC partner periodically to develop projects of mutual interest and benefit to the special needs community.



Social media study

In March 2010, Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) commissioned CanAssist to prepare a report about the accessibility of social media for people with developmental disabilities.

The study, released in March 2011, includes a literature review, an online survey, and feedback from focus groups. Overall, we found that the use of social media - such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube - has the potential to significantly further the inclusion and societal contributions of those with disabilities and, more specifically, individuals with developmental disabilities.
