We want to send an important reminder to our community this Trans Day of Remembrance to hold onto today and every day, especially during these uncertain times:

The path to liberation is not linear,
and things are challenging right now.
But that doesn’t take away from the fact that
we are still making progress,
we are still gaining wins,
and we will still prevail.

What has been your experience applying for services for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) and Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) Try out the survey; it takes about 15 minutes to complete. The deadline to complete the survey is November 14, 2024 with Inclusion Alberta

Inclusion Alberta needs your help to understand how people are experiencing PDD (Persons with Developmental Disabilities) and FSCD (Family Support for Children with Disabilities) by completing a survey.

Inclusion Alberta has been hearing from an increasing number of individuals and families who are having challenges in obtaining funding, services, and supports from both FSCD and PDD. We hope these surveys will provide a more complete understanding of whether individuals are getting necessary supports and funding in a timely manner. We think it’s time to take a measure of FSCD and PDD and hear from families and individuals. Without your input there is no way to know if these programs are supporting individuals and families as they should due to an absence of current data from the Alberta government. The information you provide will allow Inclusion Alberta to communicate to government about the importance of FSCD and PDD and where changes are needed.

Who can fill out the FSCD survey:
-Whether you are a family waiting to get FSCD, receiving it, receiving it but with inadequate supports, stopped receiving it in the past 2 years, or perhaps been denied, we need to hear from you.

Who can fill out the PDD survey:
-Adults who are eligible for PDD can fill it out from their own perspective.
Family members, guardians, supporters and ‘chosen family’ are also invited to complete the survey.

Each survey will take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. Please share these surveys widely, and complete by November 14, 2024. You can find links to the surveys here: https://inclusionalberta.org/connections/pdd-and-fscd-survey-2024/
