Developmental Services Ontario (DSO)
Developmental services for children such as Special Services at Home, Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities and services through the Ontario Autism Program ends at the age of 18. To receive services past the age of 18, you must apply through Developmental Services Ontario (DSO) to determine eligibility. DSO does not deliver services; DSO is the access point for adult developmental services funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) in Ontario. A qualified DSO staff trained through the MCCSS will complete the application package with you. To avoid delays of service when the applicant turns 18, it is recommended you contact your region’s DSO office when the applicant is 16 years of age. Your regional DSO office can assist you with information on:
Understanding and completing the application process
Determining the supports and services you need
Accessing MCCSS funded supports and services when spots are available
Finding other resources in your community

Passport Funding
Helps adults with a developmental disability be involved in their communities and live as independently as possible by providing funding for community participation services and supports, activities of daily living and person-directed planning. The program also provides funding for caregiver respite services and supports for primary caregivers of an adult with a developmental disability. Once an individual is eligibility for adult developmental services, they will automatically be approved for $5,000 annually in direct funding through the Passport program.
