PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES PROGRAM (PDD)
At Sphinx Healing Services, we recognize the importance of specialized supports for individuals living with developmental disabilities. Alberta’s PDD Program provides funding and services that help adults live as independently as possible, while staying connected to their families, communities, and culture.
At Sphinx, we work closely with clients, families, and case managers to align with PDD-funded supports.
The goal of PDD is to help individuals become active members of their communities and enhance their independence by building on resources such as family, friends, and local supports.
