WHAT IS DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES ONTARIO (DSO)?

Developmental Services Ontario (DSO) is the gateway to adult developmental services funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) in Ontario. There are nine DSO locations across the province.

When you turn 18, children's developmental services like Special Services at Home, Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities, and the Ontario Autism Program end. To access adult MCCSS-funded supports, you must apply through DSO to check your eligibility for community services.

By connecting with your local DSO, you can:

• Understand and complete the application process
• Determine the types of services and supports you need
• Access MCCSS-funded services and supports when they become available
• Find information and resources in your community
