  • Augmentative & Alternative Communication Assistance

    Individuals that live with cerebral palsy often encounter barriers to effective verbal commun-ication. Investing in AAC assistance for OFCP members is crucial for addressing the specific needs of our community. This program aims to supply tailored AAC supports, training and education for service providers and other allies. Furthermore, it offers ongoing, reliable support, looking to

    empower individuals with cerebral palsy to express themselves effectively and participate more fully in their communities.

  • Independent Living Facilitation

    Navigating complex systems and accessing relevant resources for opportunities to live independently can be particularly challenging for individuals with cerebral palsy. In Ontario,

    limited accessibility to information and services affects the quality of life for many of the over 30,000 people living with cerebral palsy. Our new program seeks to bridge this gap, offering guidance on appropriate resources, support services, and strategies for leading more independ- sent lives by connecting across sectors and the different models of care in independent living, semi-independent living, developmental disabilities, mental health, seniors, and behavioral supports.
