A referral is required to access this service.
We wish to inform our families and caregivers that the Ontario Ministry of Health has recently updated its funding guidelines under the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) for orthotic devices. As of July 14, 2025, these changes include:
- Broader access to both off‑the‑shelf and custom‑made orthotic devices.
- Increasing prices for orthotic devices to align with inflationary increases
Effective September 15, 2025, Holland Bloorview-issued orthotic devices will be subject to a pricing increase.
ADP will continue to pay 75 per cent of the device cost directly to the vendor, with clients or families responsible for the remaining 25 per cent, unless fully covered through social assistance (e.g., Ontario Disability Support Program, Ontario Works or Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities). Please reach out to a member of your care team for any support navigating these changes.
Partial coverage for orthotic devices is provided through the Assistive Devices Program (ADP)
