We are a growing collective of Albertan families who are unwilling to accept years-long delays for supports that our children need now from the Family Supports for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) program. Children are left without the supports they need most during their critical years of development.

​

We are parents of children with disabilities. Some of us are still waiting with no support. Others have experienced the difference FSCD can make when supports arrive on time— our children participate in community life and our families have the stability to care for them at home.

​

This work is being led by parents from across the province—including parents like April from Northwest Alberta, Sital in southern Alberta, Keltie in Edmonton area, Orvella in the Calgary area, Megan in central Alberta, and Anne in Edmonton area—alongside many others including relatives, neighbours and people who care about children with disabilities. While our experiences differ, our message is the same: the current delays are unacceptable and we refuse to wait quietly while our children and families go without the supports they need to grow, participate in their communities, and thrive together.

​

We are relatives, neighbours and people who care about children with disabilities. 

​

Together, we are calling for a system that does what it should do: provide timely, reliable support so children with disabilities and their families can thrive  and engage in our communities like all Albertans. 

​

We are stronger together—and together, we are making sure our children are not left behind.
