As all of the AODA Standards come into effect, people with disabilities will experience barriers being removed and prevented.  The government is working to make Ontario accessible by 2025. 
It can be helpful to know which organizations in Ontario and in Canada can provide additional information on specific disabilities.  One can also learn a great deal from other countries that have established standards, best practices and are more advanced in specific areas of accessibility.  This section contains links to disability related organizations and resources from other jurisdictions.
