Screening/Assessment

Alberta Education Funding Programs:

 

Program Unit Funding (PUF)

Alberta Education provides Program Unit Funding (PUF) to assist children between the ages of 2 years, 8 months and less than 6 years of age (as of September 1 of the school year) with severe delays within a school or community ECS program.

Pathways and Lead Foundation are in partnership to administer this funding to help children develop age-appropriate skills to encourage later school success in areas such as talking, listening, playing, moving, learning, and participating. We work closely with families and ECS programs to create developmentally appropriate, measurable goals that are tailored to each child’s strengths and needs.

Mild-Moderate Funding

Alberta Education provides Mild-Moderate funding to assist children between the ages of 3 years, 8 months and less than 6 years of age (as of September 1 of the school year) with mild to moderate delays within a school or community ECS program.

Pathways and Lead Foundation create flexible, goal-focused programs to support these children in experiencing success within their family’s chosen ECS program.

Note: Your child must be a minimum of 2 years, 8 months as of September 1 of the school year in order to access Alberta Education funding. If your child is not 2 years, 8 months please do not complete this form – give us a call regarding private services 403-455-4072
