I started my journey with CIAD in 2018. I was a resident at Wavecrest Adult Home for 11 years. In 2019, being a member of the O’Toole Class Action, I was able to move into the community, in my own apartment. It has been a blast.
CIAD has given me the opportunity to teach Independent Living skills to my fellow brothers and sisters who still reside in Adult Homes. We are all entitled to know our rights, and to become independent , and we know that CIAD will assist us with any problem that we may have when we need to file a complaint with the Department of Health, and Mobilization For Justice. I hope that I will be able to continue to grow and gain more knowledge with CIAD.
