Developmental Disabilities Service Delivery Caseload in Alberta

Government of Alberta data tracks the number of individuals receiving services through the Persons with Developmental Disabilities program. The dataset records caseloads by three service delivery models: Family Managed Services, community service providers, and government-operated facilities. Data collection began in June 2018 and the dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in the adoption of Family Managed Services versus community-provided or government-operated support over time.
• Model the distribution of service delivery models across the PDD program caseload.
• Track monthly or quarterly changes in the total number of individuals served by each delivery model.
• Compare the relative scale of government-operated facilities to contracted community service providers.

Strengths

• Data provides a multi-year time series starting from June 2018.
• Distinguishes caseloads across three specific service delivery models.

Limitations

• The exact number of rows (individual records or time points) is unknown.
• Data is specific to the province of Alberta, Canada, limiting geographic generalizability.
