Community Supports Coordinators

Adults with a developmental disability or their parents or guardians may need help finding information about resources, supports, or services that may be available in their community.

Community Supports Coordinators are staff who can provide:

• Information about living and working in the community
• Assessments of individual/family needs
• Individual lifestyle planning and information about funding
• Public awareness and education

Community Supports Coordinators operate within a specific philosophical and values base:

• All individuals are valued members of society
• People with developmental disabilities have a right to enjoy the opportunities and privileges of citizenship available to all Albertans
• Individuals should have the opportunity to exercise choice about where they live and what they want to do
• People with developmental disabilities must be involved in planning and monitoring of the supports required to meet their needs.

Community Supports Coordinators are knowledgeable about the local community and the resources, supports, and programs that are available to assist adults with developmental disabilities and their families.

They also focus on developing and arranging funding to support persons with developmental disabilities.

If you have any questions about services or supports to an adult with a developmental disability call the Community Supports Coordinator.
