The Community Living Association for South Simcoe (CLASS) supports individuals with an intellectual disability. CLASS is a non-profit, charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The agency was established in 1962 by a group of parents who wanted services in their own community for their children who had a diagnosis of intellectual disability. CLASS receives its funding from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, the County of Simcoe as well as through donations and fundraising events. CLASS supports the right of individuals with intellectual disabilities to choose and lead dignified lives within the community.
