The guide was developed by parents of children with disabilities and the Alberta Association for Community Living. This guide is a reflection of the shared experiences and understandings of parents just like you, united in their love for their children and their desire for them to have every opportunity for a happy and productive life. This guide will answer some of the most common questions parents have when their child is diagnosed with a disability. It will not answer all your questions, but it will serve as a starting point and show you where you can find additional information. This guide was made possible through funding from Alberta Children and Youth Services

Description

On 19 and 20 November 2012, The Alberta Association for Community Living and Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD), Alberta Human Services hosted about 100 people from communities around Alberta whose efforts are critical to creating inclusive lives for children and adults with developmental disabilities. Participants included family members, people with disabilities, advocates, service providers and those responsible for regional and provincial service systems, and representatives of education, health, and family support. Participants in the Blue Sky Conference were invited to work together in small, cross-boundary groups to . . . imagine new possibilities for the inclusion of children and adults in community life and explore the changes in relationships, mindset, practice, structure, and policy needed to realize those possibilities.
