Alberta Disability Assistance Program engagement

Share your feedback to help shape the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP).

Overview

Albertans with disabilities and the organizations that support them have said they want supports that meet their unique needs and abilities, rather than the one-size-fits-all approach currently offered by the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) program.

The Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) will be offered in addition to AISH and will empower Albertans with disabilities to pursue fulfilling job opportunities while continuing to receive the financial, medical and personal supports they need.

During telephone townhalls and roundtables held in September, an online survey and feedback form, we heard from AISH clients, advocates, stakeholders and interested Albertans who want to help shape ADAP.
