Ready Willing and Able
Ready, Willing and Able (RWA) is a national partnership of Inclusion Canada (formerly the Canadian Association for Community Living), the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance (CASDA) and their member organizations.

- Information about why hiring a person with an intellectual disability or ASD is good for business
- Individualized assistance to help you become a more inclusive employer
- Assistance in identifying persons with an intellectual disability or ASD to address labour force needs in your company
- Disability awareness information for your current employees
