Project Announcement!
For the next two years, Microboards Ontario will be supporting families with setting up and incorporating their Microboard AND help get those first few meetings under their belt. Our complimentary support includes:

Our first cohort of families is underway. Watch for details and an announcement for our second cohort early this summer. Questions? Contact [email protected] or [email protected] for more information. This Project is funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. |
A Microboard has one purpose: to support a person with a disability with living their best life, by assisting them in making decisions, and empowering them to express their goals for their life.
A Microboard May Be An Option If You Are:
- Looking for a sustainable, supportive and person-directed option for your family member with a disability.
- Concerned about succession planning and ensuring your family member is supported in the community by a solid network of friends and family.
- Seeking an accountable and reliable option for managing your direct funding.

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. - Henry, Parent |
