If you have obtained approved services through FSCD

Families who have approved services through the Government of Alberta’s FSCD program will have the cost of therapy covered. To see if you meet the required criteria, visit the Government of Alberta’s FSCD website.

If you participate in the provincial FSCD program, they can send your referral directly to us so we can start supporting your child’s development. Learn more on the Government of Alberta’s website.

If you would like to contact us directly about FSCD support you need to be approved for services from FSCD prior to accessing FSCD services, however we also offer private services, including formal assessments. Contact us today to get started.

If you are overwhelmed or still have questions about FSCD, you are welcome to contact Rebecca Cormier
