Developmental Services Ontario (DSO)

A Presentation

On July 1, 2011 a new organization opened in North Bay and in 8 other centers across Ontario. This new organization is designed to:

provide individuals and families with information about community programs and resources determine what services and supports people need, confirm if they are eligible and connect people to specific programs

Who is going to be served by DSO?
Adults with a developmental disability who currently receive service or are waiting for service will not have to reapply – they will be “grandparented” into the new system. Over the next five years, Developmental Services Ontario will assess everyone who is receiving or waiting for service to confirm their needs.

A presentation and discussion on Developmental Services Ontario will be held at:

North Bay Public Library Auditorium

Monday, October 24, 2011

7 pm – 9pm
