Developmental Services Policy
A Proposal for Individualized and Direct Funding of Developmental Services in Ontario: Community Living Toronto, Karis Disability Services, Microboards Ontario, and Community Living Ontario have come together to create a shared vision on the topic of individualized and direct funding for developmental services in Ontario. People and families have been calling for greater access to individualized and direct funding in Ontario for decades, and it is high time we make it a reality.
Direct Funding for Developmental Services in Ontario: A Path Forward: Ontario’s new strategy for developmental services includes a commitment to allow people to receive funding directly and manage their own supports. This document offers recommendations on how we can finally make direct funding a reality in our province.
Building a Full Life + a Home of One’s Own in the Community is a report from Community Living Ontario that offers recommendations on individualized funding, housing, and community inclusion for people who have an intellectual disability. The report provides detailed guidance and insights, and will hopefully serve as a platform for meaningful discussion as the province moves forward with developmental service reform.
