Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FSCD program?
Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) is an Alberta government program that provides funding and support to families of children under 18 with disabilities. It’s administered through Alberta Children’s Services and helps cover the cost of services like respite, therapy aides, and daily living support.
Does FSCD cover the full cost of services?
FSCD funding amounts vary based on your child's approved Family Support Plan. We work within your plan's approved hours and services, and handle all billing directly so you don't have to navigate invoicing.
How do I know if my child qualifies?
Your child may qualify if they have a diagnosed disability (physical, developmental, sensory, or mental health-related) and are under 18. The first step is contacting Alberta Children’s Services to apply for an FSCD assessment. Once approved, an FSCD worker will create a Family Support Plan.
Can I choose my own service provider?
Yes. Under the FSCD program, families have the right to choose their preferred service provider. Many families choose New Day Homecare because of our consistent worker matching, flexible scheduling, and personalized approach.
Do you handle the billing?
Yes. We manage all FSCD billing and documentation directly, so you don’t have to deal with complex invoicing or paperwork. You focus on your family — we handle the administrative side.
