What's a Microboard?
A Microboard is a group of committed family and friends who join with a person with a developmental disability to create a supportive not-for-profit corporation. |
Our Mission
To advocate for Microboards in Ontario and provide people in this province with the resources they need, including education and trusted connections, to develop one. |
You worry about your children’s future, even more so with a child with special needs. Having a Microboard gives the parent some relief that their child’s well being will be taken care of, with the decisions of the Microboard, which is made up of family and friends. In our specific case we have two daughters and once we are gone, all the decisions are made with a group and will be easier for her.
