The Equipment and Support Services program provides financial support for individuals with disabilities needing specialized mobility and communication equipment.

Albertans with disabilities and special needs connect with us because vital equipment isn't available through government or other community resources. We are a last resort agency - when all other sources of funding have failed, Easter Seals Alberta is there.

The program is based on financial need - making it possible for clients to acquire power wheelchairs, scooters, vehicle and home adaptations, communication devices and other environmental control options. Equipment provided is essential for a healthier lifestyle. This improved quality of life means less hospital stays, with minimal dependence on the health care system.

It's not hard to imagine how a single piece of equipment enhances quality of life. It often reconnects clients with their community. Access to mobility and communication equipment means an independent and active life, with the opportunity to contribute to society.
