Prince Edward-Lennox & Addington Social Services offers a number of interesting and beneficial programs to Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) clients.  The Ontario Works Act allows ODSP clients to access Ontario Works (OW) supports and programs for their own benefit. This means that ODSP clients can become involved in one of our many programs including: 

	Education programs;
	training programs to learn new skills;
	community placement programs to become involved with local agencies;
	the Learning, Earning & Parenting program (LEAP) for young parents, fosters healthy child development;
	Addiction Services Initiative.

Ontario Works has resources available to help cover costs associated with participation in these programs, including: child care, mileage and transportation costs, registration and tuition fees, supplies and other required items.  For those who may already be involved in one of the above mentioned programs please do not hesitate to contact us we may be able to help.  We will work with clients to find their “best fit” for participation in programs.  

 

Participation is completely voluntary and is based on individual needs and choices.  Our programs focus on making the best use of clients capabilities, while building on knowledge and skills.  We hope to provide socialization and community involvement opportunities.

 

Please contact our offices if you or someone you know may be interested in becoming involved.
