Alberta’s government is seeking insights and experiences of Albertans with disabilities to help shape the new ADAP program.
In January 2025, Alberta’s government announced plans for the new Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP), which will be offered in addition to AISH and will empower Albertans with disabilities to pursue fulfilling job opportunities while continuing to receive the supports they need.
Engagement will focus on five topic areas:
- program eligibility
- applications, adjudication and appeals
- benefits, income and asset exemptions
- employment supports and expectations
- client transitions
Engagement will be held throughout August and into September:
- Aug. 13 to Sept. 12: A public survey will be open at alberta.ca/alberta-disability-assistance-program-engagement.
- Aug. 13 to Sept. 12: A discussion guide will be available in pdf and video formats for Albertans to review and provide feedback online or via mail.
- Early September: Public telephone town halls will provide Albertans with more information about ADAP and answer questions. Dates and times for the townhalls will be posted on alberta.ca/alberta-disability-assistance-program-engagement and on YourAlberta social media channels.
- Early September: Roundtable engagement sessions with disability service providers and advocacy organizations.
