Let's Improve Support for Islanders Living with Disabilities

The "AccessAbility Supports and Residential Services Review: What We Heard" report is now available. The full report and recommendations are expected to be released in Spring 2025.

AccessAbility Supports (AAS) & Residential Services Review


A review of the AccessAbility Supports (AAS) Program is underway to determine if it is supporting Islanders living with disabilities to access the supports they need to reach their full potential.
The Residential Services Program is being reviewed simultaneously, as the two programs are interconnected and serve the same clients.

What is AccessAbility Supports (AAS)?


The AAS Program serves Islanders who experience substantial and consistent impairment to their activities of daily living due to their diagnosed physical, intellectual, neurological, sensory and/or mental disability.
There are five areas of support:
Personal Supports, Housing Supports, Community Supports, Caregiver Supports and Financial Supports

What is the Residential Services Program?


The Residential Services Program supports Islanders 18 and older living with disabilities or Autism in connecting to day programming and housing options, including independent/supported living, the Associate Family Program, staff-supported homes, small options homes and specialized residential services.

Learn More


The legislation that guides the AccessAbility Supports program is the Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act.

More information can also be found in the Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act General Regulations.
