Transition to Adulthood (16+)

The transition to adulthood can be both an exciting and overwhelming time for families of youth with disabilities. Easter Seals Alberta’s Transition Team is here to guide you through this significant life stage with expert support, accurate information, and compassionate care.

We understand that navigating the complexities of adulthood—like applying for Guardianship, Trusteeship, Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD), and Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH)—can feel daunting. That’s why our team is committed to making this process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

We’ve helped hundreds of families confidently and accurately complete the necessary applications, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to prepare their youth for adulthood.

Workshops to Empower

Our Transition to Adulthood Workshops are designed to help families and professionals gain a deeper understanding of the transition process. Available in a convenient digital format, these workshops cover essential topics such as:

Guardianship & Trusteeship: Legal frameworks to protect your youth as they enter adulthood.
PDD: Eligibility, application process, and support services available.
AISH: How to apply for financial assistance and what to expect.

These workshops provide practical tools and insights, helping families feel prepared and confident during this transition.
