SUPPORT FOR
FAMILIES
We are dedicated to providing tailored services that foster learning, development, and participation, ensuring that children have the resources they need to thrive in everyday life.
From home to child care centers to kindergartens—and beyond—our travelling teams provide individualized programming to support your child’s growth in all environments.
Early Childhood Services
Our Early Childhood Services (ECS) program supports learning, development and participation for preschool-aged children with disabilities and their families for up to three years.
Support occurs anywhere children play, learn, and grow. Our traveling teams provide individualized programming to promote meaningful participation in everyday life—from the home to the pool to childcare centers and everywhere in between (including preschool and kindergarten).
We also offer Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) for children and families that are enrolled in our ECS program. This means that Alberta families have one provider for services, and the ECS providers work collaboratively with our FSCD team.
