Ontario Disability Support Program Act

This course looks at the Ontario Disability Support Program Act (ODSPA), an income-tested maintenance program available to persons deemed by the province to be disabled. Topics include the application process, determining medical and financial eligibility, and the benefits available to successful applicants. The right to appeal adverse decisions is discussed. We review case studies and discuss the role of the community advocate in assisting persons with ODSP issues. This course is offered fully online though OntarioLearn.
