Medicine Hat mother among many waiting years for Alberta family disability support

Rebekah Klassen is the mother of a child who has disabilities. She said that if her son is not receiving provincial support, he’s not receiving a community aid support worker.


“He’s not being included as much as he can be in society,” Klassen said.


Thousands of children and adults with disabilities are experiencing prolonged delays in getting the help they need under two provincial programs.


In the absence of publicly available government data related to the programs, Inclusion Alberta launched their own survey in the fall of 2024 to better understand recipients’ experience.

Inclusion Alberta is an advocacy organization that supports families and individuals to be fully integrated into community life.


The group said in a statement that they are most concerned for the families who rely on the community and connection that has been created with the programs.

The government of Alberta facilitates two programs to support families of individuals with disabilities: the Family Support for Children with Disabilities, and Persons with Developmental Disabilities.

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
