Our Story

Person-Directed Supports

We have a rich history of advocating so individuals can live the life of their choosing.

Since our founding in 1973, we've recognized the individual hopes, dreams and needs of the people we support with a focus on providing person-directed supports. This means not only empowering individuals and families to have a voice, but also providing supports that reflect what they've shared.


We're grateful for our dedicated staff who are committed to helping individuals lead their best lives. They continue to adapt to meet the needs of individuals we support while looking for ways to help those who currently don't receive our services.

Our History

One Woman's Committment

Alice Saddy was well known in London for her volunteer work assisting adults with disabilities. Alice Saddy Association was founded in 1973 as a way to honour her memory upon her passing.


Our first home on Wolfe Street was opened in November 1973. Over the years we've evolved from teaching daily living skills in a group-home setting to focusing on the needs of the individual.
