If your loved one with a disability requires financial help with basic living expenses, including medical expenses, they could be eligible for the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). Understanding how this program works and how to maintain it alongside other financial resources will ensure the person continues to receive this support for as long as he or she may need it.
In this webcast, disability expert & advocate Graeme Treeby provides an introductory overview of the Ontario Disability Support Program.
Topics include:
How to qualify and apply for ODSP
Definition of disability under ODSP
