Do you or someone you know require a Mobility Device such as a wheeled walker, wheelchair or forearm crutches?

If so, the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can help you cover 75% of the ADP approved cost.  You qualify for ADP assistance if you are a resident of Ontario and you have a long- term physical disability that will require the use of a mobility device for 6 months or longer.  A physiotherapist, which is registered with ADP as an authorizer, will assess your mobility status and will recommend the appropriate device to meet your needs.  An example of a client that would qualify for funding would be your elderly Grandmother who has bilateral hip osteoarthritis and who has had multiple falls.  A wheeled walker or rollator would allow her to safely access her home and her community .
