Specialized Supports

PDD Edmonton Region Community Board takes on the challenge to be creative with responses to an individual's request. Some examples of additional supports we can provide include:

• "Start-up" costs for furniture and other items, for an individual leaning an institution who has no personal belongings
• Access to behavioural consultants and counsellors for individuals, agencies and/or families who are experiencing difficulties in this area
• Arranging assessments if eligibility is questioned, or if other questions/concerns occur
• Assisting with transportation costs to and from weekday employment or programs, if regular transportation is not appropriate or available
