The Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centres (SARC) Literacy Needs Project was initiated in October 1998 to assess and begin to address the literacy needs of persons with intellectual / developmental (and other) disabilities. The primary objectives of the project were to:
- Assess literacy needs and to identify existing barriers to literacy;
- Research and catalogue appropriate literacy materials and resources;
- Purchase appropriate literacy materials and resources for a modest SARC / SARCAN Literacy Resource Centre collection;
- Promote literacy for persons with disabilities in Saskatchewan;
- Hold literacy presentations to raise awareness and exchange information;
- Plan for future literacy initiatives that SARC may pursue.
