Adults with autism transition to adult services including ODSP, developmental services through DSO, and community supports. Planning for housing, employment, and ongoing care is essential for quality of life.
Adult services include ODSP (income and employment support), DSO-funded programs (housing, community participation), Passport funding for respite and activities, and mental health services. Wait times for housing supports can exceed 10 years.
Apply through Ontario Works or your local ODSP office. You'll need medical documentation of the disability and financial information. The process typically takes 3-6 months. ODSP provides monthly income and employment supports.
Passport is a provincial program for adults with developmental disabilities, providing funding (typically $5,000-$10,000/year) for respite, community participation, and skill-building activities. Apply through your region's Passport agency.
