Inclusion Alberta has responded with a media release, Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) Could Leave Thousands with Disabilities in Deeper Poverty.
The following information is to inform you about what we know about ADAP and then to help you voice any concerns to the Government of Alberta by the September 12 deadline in the ADAP survey or with a written submission to adapengagement@gov.ab.ca. Telephone town halls will be advertised here in early September.
Information of three types is found here, organized under the topics presented in the ADAP Discussion Guide:
- Information from government – The Ministry of Assisted Living and Social Services’ (ALSS) description of the proposed changes to AISH, and the design of both ADAP and the Disability Employment Services available to ADAP clients.
- Analysis by Inclusion Alberta of these proposals.
- Survey questions – Inclusion Alberta’s suggestions on how to express concerns about the proposals within the constraints of the survey. These are only suggestions to help you engage with this survey. In completing the survey, it’s most important that the government hears your individual reactions.
