Inclusion Langley Society

What Inclusion Langley Society does

Inclusion Langley Society (ILS) is a registered non-profit society and charitable organization founded in 1959 in Langley, British Columbia, and operating today as one of the largest non-profit community organizations in the Langley area. The organization provides a comprehensive, lifespan-oriented portfolio of community-based services for children and youth with developmental or support needs and for adults with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder. Service lines are organized into three programs — Services for Children, Services for Youth, and Services for Adults — and include early intervention (Infant Development, Aboriginal Infant Development, Supported Child Development), respite care, staffed residential services, Home Share arrangements, supported and independent living, community inclusion, and supported/customized employment (including YouthWorks). All services are accredited by the Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

The underlying delivery model is a human-services platform rather than a technology product: services are delivered directly to individuals and families through staffed homes, community-based programs, and in-home supports. ILS maintains a Head Office at 23535 – 44th Avenue, Langley, BC and a Child Development Services Office (TLC Resources) at #203 – 5171 221A Street, Langley, BC. The organization is governed by an independent Board of Directors and has no parent company.

ILS generates revenue primarily through government service contracts with Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) for adult services and the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) for child and youth services, with supplemental revenue from charitable donations (tax receipts issued for $20 or more; Charitable Registration No. 119005221 RR0001) and $5 annual memberships. Customer acquisition is largely referral-based, drawing on government intake processes, community partnerships, and word-of-mouth within the disability-services community. In 2017, ILS merged with the Langley Children's Society, broadening its service envelope across the lifespan, and in 2025 it was recognized as a finalist in the Business Excellence Awards.

Core offering

Inclusion Langley Society (ILS) is a non-profit charitable organization delivering community-based developmental, respite, residential, employment, and community inclusion services for children, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities or autism spectrum disorder. Services are funded primarily through provincial government contracts with Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) and the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), and span the full lifespan from infant development programs through adult staffed residential and customized employment supports. Culturally-specific Aboriginal Infant & Supported Child Development programs serve Indigenous families, and all services are CARF accredited.

Product overview

Inclusion Langley Society offers a comprehensive portfolio of community-based support services organized into three main programs: Services for Children, Services for Youth, and Services for Adults. These programs provide developmental disabilities support, respite care, residential services, employment services, and family support across the lifespan. The organization operates as a single unified service model rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture, with each program addressing specific life stages and support needs from early childhood through adulthood.
