What is the FSCD Program?
The Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) Program provides funding to assist families with children who have physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities.
This program aims to:
- Promote healthy development and well-being in children
- Engage children in activities at home and within the community
- Help families overcome the financial barriers of raising a child with disabilities and enhance their quality of life
Once approved for the FSCD Program, families can access services and community resources tailored to their needs in Calgary, Alberta.
