The Assistive Devices Program (ADP) is an Ontario government program that provides funding for those with long-term physical disabilities. Devices covered by the program are intended to enable people increase their independence.

The Assistive Devices Program covers over 8,000 separate pieces of equipment or supplies in a number of categories. Some of these include;

• prostheses
• wheelchairs/mobility aids and specialized seating systems
• monitors and test strips for insulin-dependent diabetics (through an agreement with the Canadian Diabetes Association)
• insulin pumps and supplies for children
• hearing aids
• respiratory equipment
• visual and communication aids

To be eligible for the Assistive Devices Program you must:

• be a resident of Ontario
• have a valid Ontario health card
• have a physical disability for six months or longer

Equipment cannot be required only for sports, work or school. The Assistive Devices Program pays a portion of the needed equipment. The user pays the rest. For more detail on eligibility click here.
