Assistive Devices Program
Eligibility includes any Ontario resident who has a valid Ontario Health Card issued in their name and has a physical disability of six months or longer. Equipment cannot be required exclusively for sports, work or school. ADP does not pay for equipment available under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board or to Group “A” veterans for their pensioned benefits. There are specific eligibility criteria that apply to each device category.
An individual who has a chronic illness or dysfunction that requires long-term oxygen therapy may be eligible for home oxygen funding.
ADP covers over 8,000 separate pieces of equipment or supplies in the following categories: prostheses; wheelchairs/mobility aids and specialized seating systems; enteral feeding supplies; monitors and test strips for insulin-dependent diabetics (through an agreement with the Canadian Diabetes Association); hearing aids; insulin pumps and supplies; respiratory equipment; orthotic devices (braces), pressure modification devices for burns and lymphedema (garments and pumps); visual and communication aids; home oxygen therapy.
Grants are provided for ostomy supplies, breast prostheses and needles and syringes for insulin-dependent seniors.
Initial access is often through a medical specialist or general practitioner who provides a diagnosis. In most device categories, an authorizer assesses the specific needs of the person and prescribes appropriate equipment or supplies. Finally, a vendor sells the equipment or supplies to the client.
In some device categories, such as adult hearing aids or prosthetic devices, the assessor is also the vendor.
Most devices must be authorized by a qualified health care professional registered with the program. Registered authorizers work in hospitals, home care agencies or private practice.
The program will only help pay for equipment that is purchased from vendors registered with the Assistive Devices Program.
ADP pays up to 75 percent of the cost of equipment, such as artificial limbs, orthopedic braces, wheelchairs and breathing aids. For others, such as hearing aids, the ADP contributes a fixed amount. For ostomy supplies, breast prostheses and needles and syringes for seniors, the ADP pays a grant directly to the person. ADP pays 100 percent of the ADP price for home oxygen and related equipment for seniors 65 years of age or older and for individuals 64 years of age or younger who are on social assistance, residing in a long-term care home or who are receiving professional services, and 75 percent of the ADP price for all others.
In most cases, the client pays a share of the cost at the time of purchase and the vendor bills ADP the balance.
For ADP supply categories where grants are paid, the client pays 100 percent of the cost to the vendor.
There are many sources of funding for the client’s share of the cost including:
- clients
- voluntary/charitable organizations e.g. March of Dimes, The Easter Seals Society, Kiwanis, Lions Clubs
- social assistance, DVA
- insurance companies
- relatives/friends.
ALS Canada’s team of Regional Managers assists people and families living with ALS in navigating their journey. Regional Managers offer home visits to discuss individual and family needs, provide information and education and assist with connecting you to other healthcare providers and community supports. They also run support groups for people living with ALS as well as caregivers.
Please note that ALS Canada Regional Managers do not provide medical advice or make any referrals or recommendations related to drug therapies or alternative therapies. These questions should be discussed directly with your medical professional – ideally an ALS neurologist, who would be qualified to interpret clinical information for individual situations. Please visit our list of ALS clinics to help you to connect with a clinic in your area.
You must be registered with ALS Canada to receive support from a Regional Manager and other ALS Canada services.
ALS Canada helps people diagnosed with ALS to cope with the daily challenges of decreasing mobility and communication ability and to help with retaining independence. Access to equipment and assistive devices is essential for your safety, comfort and functioning as a person living with ALS.
The ALS Canada Equipment Program provides access to basic and essential assistive equipment through:
- Loan equipment program
- Funding assistance programs for some leased and rented equipment
- Flexible funding program for small bathroom equipment
To find out more about the program and see if you are eligible, please review the Program Overview.
To access the ALS Canada Equipment Program, please have your Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist or other Allied Professional complete the following:
Please note: for small bathroom equipment from the flexible funding program, please insert the requested item(s) under the Loan Equipment Application Form. Our Client Services Coordinators will process the request.
Completed forms should be emailed to equipment@als.ca or faxed to 416-497-8545.

Completing the Equipment Funding Program Application
- All supporting documentation must accompany the completed application.

Please note, different documentation requirements are depending on the type of equipment you are applying for:
Accessibility, Bathroom and Toileting Aids:
These items are not eligible for funding from the Ministry of Health’s Assistive Devices Program (ADP) funding or government funding, except for van lifts funded through the March of Dimes Canada Vehicle Modification Program (see Van Lifts below for more details).
- For non-ADP-approved items, a letter of support from the prescribing occupational therapist or physiotherapist describing the need for the equipment is required.
- Two current vendor quotes for equipment are preferred. An exception may be made if there is only one vendor available locally or if it is customized equipment. It is the family’s choice which vendor they would like to use.
- If the higher quoted vendor is chosen, the family is responsible for paying for the difference between the two quotes.
Communication Devices and Orthotics:
- When applying for an ADP-funded computer, communication device, ankle-foot orthotics or knee-ankle-foot orthotics, you must include a current vendor quote that states the amount being covered by ADP. There is no ADP approval or letter of support required with the application, as it is a specific amount set by the Ministry of Health. Alternatively, a copy of the ADP approval can be submitted.
Walkers and Wheelchairs and Standers:
- For ADP-funded walkers, standers and wheelchairs, please obtain a copy of the ADP application form or a letter of support from the prescribing therapist that clearly states the date they submitted an application to ADP for the specific item being requested.

The Home & Vehicle Modification® Program provides funding for basic home and/or vehicle modifications, and is intended to assist permanent Ontario residents with a substantial impairment expected to last one year or more, with their disability management.

- Participate in their communities

If you are receiving Ontario Disability Support Program Income Support, you are eligible for the Assistive Devices Program under the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
The Assistive Devices Program generally pays for up to 75% of the cost of approved assistive devices. In some cases, the Assistive Devices Program pays a fixed amount for a device or provides grants directly to a person for supplies. The Ontario Disability Support Program can help with some of the costs that are not covered by the Assistive Devices Program.
Here are some categories of assistive devices:
- mobility devices, such as wheeled walkers and wheelchairs
- visual aids, such as magnifiers
- hearing aids
- orthotic or prosthetic devices
- speech devices, such as teletypewriters
- certain medical supplies, such as ostomy supplies
- respiratory devices.
The Assistive Devices Program sets out what assistive devices are covered and the maximum amount of coverage.
To get Assistive Devices Program funding, you need to get approval first from a physician or qualified professional who is registered with the Assistive Devices Program. Usually, the physician or qualified professional also assesses your needs and prescribes the device or supplies.
The Assistive Devices Program will not reimburse you for devices you buy before getting approval.
The Assistive Devices Program does not cover the assessment fee for assistive devices. However, the Ontario Disability Support Program may cover the assessment fee, if there is no other source of funding available.
For the Ontario Disability Support Program to cover the assessment fee you need to get:
- approval by the Assistive Devices Program before buying an assistive device, and
- pre-approval from your local Ontario Disability Support Program office for all assessment fees over $500.
The Assistive Devices Program generally does not provide funding for batteries or repairs. The Ontario Disability Support Program can help with the cost of batteries or repairs for hearing aids and mobility devices, like an electric wheelchair.
To qualify for ODSP income support, you must:
- be at least 18 years old
- be an Ontario resident
- be in financial need and
- meet the program’s definition of a person with a disability, or be a member of a Prescribed Class
Note: If you’re under 18, you can start the application process up to six months before your 18th birthday.
Financial need
You are considered to be in financial need if the costs of your household’s basic living expenses are more than your household’s income and assets (as determined by your ODSP caseworker).
When you apply for income support, a caseworker will ask you for specific documents that show:
- your household’s housing and shelter-related costs
- any money coming into your household, as well as the value of assets belonging to members of the household
The caseworker will also need your signed consent to disclose and verify personal information. This allows the ODSP office to contact third parties and gather additional information needed to determine your eligibility for income support.
Only a caseworker can decide if you are financially eligible for ODSP, however, you may use the Online Application for Social Assistance to see if you might qualify and to start your application.
Note: If you’re an Ontario Works client, your financial need has already been established. Speak to your caseworker if you want to apply for ODSP income support.
Person with a disability
Note: If you’re a member of a Prescribed Class, you don’t have to meet this qualification.
The program’s definition of a person with a disability is found in the ODSP Act.
Meeting the definition means that:
- you have a substantial mental or physical impairment that is continuous or recurrent, and is expected to last one year or more and
- your impairment directly results in a substantial restriction in your ability to work, care for yourself, or take part in community life and
- your impairment, its duration and restrictions have been verified by an approved health care professional
Your caseworker will give you a Disability Determination Package for you and your health care provider(s) to fill out.
Specialized ministry staff will review your completed package to determine if you meet the program’s definition of a person with a disability.
