This two day session is designed to build participants understanding of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). The topics we are going to explore include client pathways & services, the application process, eligibility requirements, calculating ODSP benefits, employment benefits, documentation & file set-up, and notices of decision and review processes. Attendees will have additional time to explore ODSP directives in greater detail, roundtable potential gaps in services for ODSP clients, and discuss the overlap between Ontario Works and ODSP benefits and programs. The session aims to empower community OWAs to confidently administer both programs, with full community autonomy and sustainability in mind.
