What is the FSCD Program?
The Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) Program offers financial assistance to families with children who have physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities.
This program is designed to:
- Support healthy development and overall well-being in children
- Encourage children’s participation in home and community activities
- Assist families in overcoming financial challenges associated with raising a child with disabilities, improving their quality of life
Once approved for the FSCD Program, families can access services and community resources that meet their unique needs in Edmonton, Alberta.
