Description
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 by age group across the province.

Usage Considerations
The data tracks active caseload, which reflects the number of Albertans that receive supports and services from the FSCD program by age group.
The FSCD program provides information, referral and advocacy supports as well as specific family support services to families with children with disabilities who meet program eligibility criteria based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Family Support Services are intended to support families with the extraordinary demands of caring for a child with a disability and include services such as respite, counselling and medical appointment supports.
Where information provided by the family and other relevant assessment information indicates that the disability significantly limits the child's ability to function in normal daily living, the FSCD program may provide Child Focused Services, such as: childcare, health related supports, behaviour and/or developmental supports, specialized services and out of home living supports, in addition to Family Support Services.
