Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) Program – Alberta

The Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) Program is a provincial program in Alberta that provides funding and support services to help adults with developmental disabilities live as independently and inclusively as possible in their communities.

​

At EmpowerBridge Alberta Society, we align our services with PDD standards to deliver high-quality, person-centred supports that meet the needs of individuals and families.
