Funding Resources

Helping you access available funding programs, tax credits, and financial support to make essential mobility equipment more affordable.

Wheelchair Funding:

In Ontario, wheelchair funding is primarily handled through the Assistive Devices Program (ADP), which covers 75% of the approved cost for eligible mobility aids. Coverage jumps to 100% for individuals receiving social supports such as Ontario Works (OW) or the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). 
The funding covers manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, scooters, and necessary positioning devices like cushions and back supports. 

How to Secure Your Funding

To access this support, follow these steps:
  1. Get Assessed: Visit an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist who is registered with the ADP to get a formal assessment and prescription. 
  2. Find a Vendor: Work with an ADP-approved mobility vendor to choose and fit the appropriate equipment.
  3. Submit: The vendor will help you complete and submit the Application for Funding Mobility Devicesdirectly to the ADP.
  4. Pay Your Portion: If approved, ADP will send 75% of the cost to the vendor, leaving you to pay the remaining 25% plus any custom accessories you choose. 

Alternative & Supplementary Funding

If you need help covering the remaining 25% of the cost, or if you need assistance with home adaptations or accessible vehicles, several charities and programs exist to help: 
  • March of Dimes Canada: Offers the Home and Vehicle Modifications Program (HVMP).
  • Charities: Depending on your situation and age, organizations like Easter Seals Ontario (for children and youth), The War Amps, and local Lions Clubs frequently step in to assist with funding gaps.
