CBC is investigating the experience of families on waitlists for the Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) program as well as families benefiting from FSCD supports here in Alberta.

This is an important opportunity to help build a clearer picture of how access to supports and barriers to access are affecting families, and to ensure these experiences are better understood.

If you are interested in sharing your experience with the CBC, we would encourage you to fill out the CBC's short survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmMs0MBp0c2YLv2hnF-qhFIZ48RmCbYDLFh98z1lYkDYZSMg/viewform?usp=header

Predicted and now happening in real time.

Cuts to PUF funding 6 years ago are showing up in todays classrooms. Early intervention today saves money down the road. What will the current cuts look like in 5 years?

Why is it that when we start documenting the supports a student needs to successfully access an education, the response from schools is almost always that the student needs to be moved to a segregated classroom?

Why does it feel like advocating for more supports can sometimes trigger the actual opposite thing we're trying to accomplish?

When we create prerequisites for inclusion or place limits on the number and type of supports we think are appropriate to provide in an inclusive classroom, we're perpetuating the problems that plague students with high support needs by placing them in environments that largely don't presume competence or provide access to real education.

Kayla Takeuchi, a nonspeaking college student captures the unfairness of this situation best: "I always resented the fact that I had to 'earn' my place in regular education just because I am nonspeaking while all the other students who couldn't care less about school got a free pass to a real education."

If we think kids don’t feel exclusion, think again. Love how these kids worked together to solve a what they saw as a problem.
