Citizens With Disabilities –
Service Quality Committee
Chair: Tracy Odell
Attendant Services
Under attendant services, we are working on these things:
- Legislation to protect the rights, dignity
and autonomy of persons with disabilities who require
attendant services. Our proposed bill is called
the
Consumers Attendant Support Services Protection Act Final.

The Service Quality Committee is meeting with MPP
Sylvia Jones on March 31, 2009 to discuss the proposed
legislation Attendant Care Services Protection Act. Stay
tuned for developments!
- Reducing the waiting list for the Direct Funding
program. Currently, new people are being told
there will be a wait of at least four years (yes,
YEARS!) before they can be interviewed for this program.
Once accepted, it may take another two years before
funding flows. Nearly 400 people throughout
Ontario are waiting
for this under-funded, high demand program. Action
must be taken to reduce the waiting list.
- A Webinar Presentation on how to improve
attendant services through effective communications.
Please send your tips, advice and experiences to the
Chair,
