No to IQ Cut-Off for Community Living Services

To:  Premier Gordon Campbell

We the undersigned call on you to reverse the recent decision to deny services to vulnerable British Columbians based on an arbitrary IQ cut-off of 70. We urge your government to act immediately to provide the necessary resources and direction to ensure:

- All adults with developmental challenges who cannot live safely without support have timely access to appropriate services and supports;

- All children and youth with special needs have timely access to appropriate services -- delivered in their communities and based on individual need, not diagnostic labels! -- to allow them to maximise their potential;

- Families, agencies and caregivers who care for challenging adults and children are appropriately supported

- Appropriate transition planning and integration of service delivery to address major and worsening gaps in the current system.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
