Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD)
Support services for adults with a developmental disability — help with daily living, community involvement, and employment.
What it is
A program that funds services helping adults with developmental disabilities live as independently as possible — community access, home living supports, employment supports and specialized services.
Who it is for
For adults whose developmental disability began before age 18 and significantly affects daily living. Provides services and supports, not direct cash.
Amount or value
Funded support services (not a cash payment)
How to apply
- Contact a PDD office or Alberta Supports to start.
- An assessment confirms eligibility (developmental disability with onset before 18).
- Work with a coordinator to build a support plan and connect with service providers.
What you may need
- Psychological assessment showing a developmental disability before age 18
- Proof of Alberta residency + age 18+
Practical tips
- PDD funds services and supports rather than paying you cash — many people also receive AISH at the same time.
- Start early; assessment and planning can take time.
Timing
Varies; assessment-based.
