The Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) program works with eligible families to provide support and services based on each child and family’s needs. Supports and services are individually determined. The level and nature of support a family receives varies depending on many factors, such as the child’s disability and the family’s individual circumstances.   The data goes back to April 2018 and tracks the number of Albertans eligible for the FSCD program who are currently in ‘in planning’ status in regions across the province.
