Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD)

Overview

The FSCD program is based on the Family Support for Children with Disabilities Act (FSCD Act) and the FSCD Regulation. The Alberta Government provides support to eligible families of children with disabilities to help parents:

with supports and services to raise your child and promote their healthy development

maintain guardianship, responsibility for decision-making and usual expenses to raise a child until they are 18 years old
with some of the extraordinary costs related to your child's disability
