About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join us for a comprehensive seminar exploring the range of assistive devices and programs available through Ontario's healthcare system. We'll dive into the Assistive Devices Program (ADP), which supports individuals in accessing essential mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers, as well as communication devices for those with speech or hearing difficulties. This session will also cover respiratory equipment and the services provided by programs like the Ventilator Equipment Pool, which offers specialized respiratory devices for home care.

In this seminar, we'll guide participants through the application processes, eligibility criteria, and the financial assistance available to cover the cost of devices. We'll discuss resources like the Centralized Equipment Pool, which provides high-tech communication devices and supports clinics across the province, ensuring people with disabilities can communicate effectively. Our session will also highlight the importance of working with approved vendors to ensure clients receive the correct equipment and service.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, caregiver, or someone seeking assistive equipment, this seminar will provide valuable insights into Ontario's resources. You'll leave with practical knowledge on how to access and navigate these programs to support yourself or others in need. Sign up today to ensure you don't miss this essential learning opportunity!
