It's time to speak up about your family's experience with FSCD.
Long waits and denials are province-wide experiences, and sadly many parents are losing their jobs due to not having required supports.
It's time to speak up about your family's experience with FSCD. nclusion Alberta has been increasingly hearing from families who are unable to secure the supports they require through FSCD (Family Support for Children with Disabilities). A survey we conducted confirms that long waits and denials are province-wide experiences, and sadly many parents are losing their jobs due to not having required supports. “We have had to privately hire 1:1 support for the end of last school year and the summer. We had to take out a personal loan to be able to do this, and it has placed us in significant financial hardship. It has impacted our ability to work, because we get constant calls that we need to come get him. Emotionally, physically, and mentally our family is struggling. I am worried not receiving early intervention will exasperate the challenges. We need to not be waiting months without acknowledgement, support, or services.” “My autistic twins have lost 3 spots in childcare settings, have been denied from many more, we finally secured a spot for both of the twins, and jumped through all the hoops demanded by FSCD, only for them to [place us on a waitlist]. I NEED THEM in daycare due to returning to work / full time schooling...now I face being thrown out of my programs and the financial strain of hiring someone or losing my job.” “I can't work because I have to take care of my son, I am not receiving any service or support. I feel . . . abandoned.”
