The Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) will empower Albertans with disabilities to pursue fulfilling job opportunities while continuing to receive the financial, health, personal and employment supports they need.
Albertans with disabilities and the organization that support them have made it clear that they want more support and opportunities to earn a living than what is offered by the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) program. They stressed the importance of providing pathways to employment for individuals who are able to work but still require support – something AISH is not designed to provide.
