Disability Benefits Guide

Many people in Alberta have disabilities and could benefit from receiving extra support with their finances, health care options, employment, educational opportunities, and more. There are many different types of programs and benefits available for people who have disabilities. Some of these supports are available across Canada and others are only available to people in Alberta. This resource will go over some of the most common disability benefits available for children, adults, and all ages. It does not include all possible benefits, and there are many organizations and programs that can provide additional support. We encourage you to review all resources created through the Action for Healthy Communities and Plan Institute partnership.
