About Ontario Without Barriers
Our Solution
Our platform offers an all-in-one resource for individuals with physical, cognitive, and learning disabilities, as well as those with mental health conditions.
Our aim is to simplify the process of finding and accessing resources for these individuals, their caregivers and their service providers, by leveraging technology to provide support every step of the way.
The Problem
Navigating Ontario's disability support systems can be a challenging endeavour for both individuals with disabilities and their caregivers.
This process is overwhelming and confusing, with various programs and services scattered across different government and community organizations. Finding the right resources that meet the specific needs of the individual can be a daunting task, and the application process can be lengthy and complex.
"By accessing the appropriate resources, I was able to attain the life I desired and I am eager to offer that same opportunity to others" - Hibaq Abdi MSW, RSW, BSW, OCGC (MKM), BA (MIT).

Her Journey

Existing websites either pose navigation challenges or bury vital information beneath layers of jargon.
