Saskatchewan Cognitive Disability Strategy

You may qualify if you are a Saskatchewan resident, have a cognitive disability that results in long-term limitations, and have an unmet need related to that cognitive disability that can be addressed through an evidence-based intervention. Funding is income-tested.

Documentation of a cognitive disability that causes long-term limitations, an assessment of unmet needs that can be addressed through evidence-based interventions, and your family income information for the income test.

Apply through the Saskatchewan government CDS page or with the help of a CDS coordinator. Funding levels are determined by an income test and an assessment of unmet needs.

A common mistake is assuming CDS duplicates other programs — it specifically covers unmet needs that no other system addresses. Another is not documenting the unmet need clearly, which affects funding. People also miss that adult children living in the family home may be considered as part of a family support plan.
