The Adult Protective Service Worker (APSW) Program supports adults (18 years of age and older) with developmental disabilities who are living independently or planning to live independently within their chosen community. This voluntary program is designed to support these individuals in leading a life reflective of their values and choices and assisting them in achieving individual goals such as seeking accommodation, budget counselling, short-term emotional support, or respite care, among others.

Support Provided Through The Program:

  • Individualized planning based on the goals and support needs of the adult
  • Ongoing case management
  • Assistance in accessing and coordinating all necessary and available community services

Adults (18 years of age and older) who have a developmental disability and are living independently or planning to move towards independence in a community setting without significant social support are eligible for this program.

Funding is provided by the Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services. There is no fee for this service.

Referral for this service is facilitated through Developmental Services Ontario (DSO). An individual, family, or support person working with the individual (with consent) may contact DSO to inquire about support. Offices are located in Midland, Collingwood, Orillia, Barrie, and Alliston/Bradford.
