Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD)

Explore Alberta FSCD supports for eligible children with disabilities and their families.

How TCC can help

Clear service information and documentation.

Alberta’s Family Support for Children with Disabilities program works with eligible families of children under 18 to plan supports based on the child’s and family’s needs. A provincial caseworker determines the services in a family’s agreement. TCC can discuss care needs and whether our available services may fit an approved arrangement.

  • A conversation about your child’s routines, communication needs and family priorities.
  • Discussion of respite or personal care support where those services are approved and TCC can provide them.
  • Planning of available care around the terms of the family’s service agreement.
  • Service documentation for care TCC actually delivers, when required by the agreement.
Before care begins

Three questions worth confirming.

Funding rules differ, so it is helpful to confirm these points directly with the organization responsible for your benefits or reimbursement.

1

Is this service eligible?

Confirm whether the specific home-care service you want is covered under your approval, benefit or policy.

2

Is pre-authorization required?

Ask whether you need approval before the first visit or before a change in schedule or service type.

3

What documentation is required?

Confirm invoice, provider, service-note or claim-form requirements so TCC can explain what we can provide.
