In Home (FSCD)

2 years, 8 months - 6 years

Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) is funding available through the Alberta government to provide guidance and support to parents facing challenges in raising a child with disabilities.

Step by Step works primarily with toddlers and preschool children with specialized services or behaviour developmental support contracts. We believe in a play-based approach and supporting the needs of the whole family. We are accepting new contracts for children connected with our First Steps and ECS programs, as well as the wider Calgary community.

When children are enrolled in our First Steps or ECS programs this allows us to provide a common approach model whenever possible to provide continuity of programming between school and home.

  • Behavioural/Developmental Support (BDS)

    BDS contracts generally run for six months at a time and include support from a developmental aide and up to two therapists. Services are provided primarily in home, alongside some community outings to target specific goals.

  • Specialized Services (SS)

    SS contracts involve a larger multidisciplinary team of therapists and run for up to a year. Similar to BDS contracts services are provided primarily in home, alongside community outings to target specific goals.
