2026 Inclusion Alberta Family Conference

Families and individuals with intellectual disabilities face growing barriers—longer waits for FSCD and PDD, increasing system bureaucracy and complexity, threats to inclusive education, and changes to AISH that reduce support for one group and apply a degrading label to the rest. These challenges echo past struggles, when families refused to accept exclusion and fought for the rights we now cherish. They fought for inclusive classrooms and community-based supports by seeing what was possible and refusing to settle for anything less.  

Now, history calls us again. How will we respond? Join us to hear powerful stories from family advocates and allies who are meeting this moment with creativity, persistence, and hope. Learn practical ways to take action and stand together to protect and advance inclusion.
