Technology for Online ServicesGrant Program
Pandemic-Related Grant ProgramsGrant Year
April 2020 - March 2021Description
We consistently provide programs and services to approximately 1200 distinct children with mild, moderate and severe disabilities, and their families, per year. Approximately 85percent of that number have an Autism diagnosis. Almost two thirds of our caseload are immigrant families. Prior to COVID, all of our services were done face to face either individually or in groups. COVID has rendered that service model impossible and we have had to immediately pivot to an online service model. That is a model we are ill prepared for and requires a technological infrastructure that we mostly do not have. Thus we require resources for staff training plus physical assets such as Hardware ( laptops and tablets for parents and children of modest means who don t have them), Software, Conferencing Equipment, Clinical Toys and Supplies and a small amount for office related equipment.Amount

Pandemic Funding NeedsGrant Program
Pandemic-Related Grant ProgramsGrant Year
April 2020 - March 2021Description
Due to the pandemic we have had to find new/different ways to provide services for clients and residents in programs. Clients coming out of homelessness do not have mobile phones, we need to adjust service delivery significantly during this pandemic, thus communication remotely with clients is vital. To adjust we need to purchase prepaid phone so Case Workers can provide regular check ins with clients to see how they are coping physically and emotionally with the pandemic. In another program, we are incurring unbudgeted and unexpected expenses to provide daily health screenings for all residents. Each day, we do 100 screenings based on information from Alberta Health, each screening sheet needs to be printed and kept on record. This process has increased supply costs for printing and toner and increased workload for staffing. We also had to adjust increased demand in staffing by adding on-call staff and contract workers as well as incurring additional overtime costs for staff.Amount
