Developmental Services Legislation ~ Bill 77

Adults who have a developmental disability want more choice and control over their lives. The Government of Ontario is committed to improving services and supports for them and their families.



In order to make changes, the Government of Ontario has created the Services and Supports to Promote the Social Inclusion of Persons with Developmental Disabilities Act, 2008. The new Act will give adults with a developmental disability more independence and choice.
