ADP Authorizer ( Assess Wheelchair, Motorized Wheelchair & Mobility
Scooter- Government Funding)
The Assistive Devices Program (ADP) is a program operated by the Ministry of Health that provides consumer support and funding to Ontario residents who have long-term physical disabilities. Devices covered by the program are intended to enable people with physical disabilities to increase their independence through access to assistive devices responsive to their individual needs.
ADP covers the equipment or supplies in the following categories : wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, and other mobility aids .
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. 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 which apply to each device category.
The assessment can take place in your home or elsewhere (for example, school, hospital, nursing home, group home, place of business). At the assessment, the therapist will assess your condition and will determine how you will benefit from a mobility device, and which mobility device(s) will best fit your needs. They will then determine the size, model, and features of the equipment.
