The PEI Disability Support Program is a social program with a financial component. This means it is open to all Islanders with a qualifying disability, and may provide financial help. It was introduced in October 2001 and replaces the Family Support and Employability Assistance for People with Disabilities (EAPD) programs.
The Developmental Disabilities Internet Resource is a collection of useful developmental disabilities Internet resources and links designed for persons with a developmental disability, parents, or relatives, friends, staff, organizations, teachers, students, or anyone interested in learning more. The focus of the references targets adults, yet much of the information is age-generic including some variety of age-specific material. The resources are alphabetically categorized with a brief explanation to facilitate ease of acquiring particular and practical information that promotes understanding of persons who experience developmental disabilities while fostering a caring and inclusive society.
