Know Your Rights

Under Ontario's Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), you have the right to ask for accommodations in healthcare settings.

Examples of some Accommodations present

• Wheelchair-accessible exam tables

• Extra time for appointments or assessments

• Information in plain language or alternate formats

• Support person or interpreter present

• Everyone will have unique needs-there's no one-size-fits-all approach to accessibility.
  What matters most is that your care reflects your reality

• Self-advocacy isn't asking for special treatment, it's about ensuring your care works for you.
