Equipment help for spinal cord injury
Eligibility check
Spinal Cord Injury Ontario may help if you live in Ontario with a spinal cord injury or another mobility disability; you start with a free referral, not an application. Three quick questions. Nothing you choose leaves this page.
Question 1 of 3
You live outside Ontario.
Spinal Cord Injury Ontario welcomes new clients who live in Ontario. Outside Ontario, ask your health care team about services where you live.
Only Spinal Cord Injury Ontario decides how it can help, and it does not publish amounts for Equipment for Independence. Questions: call SCIO at 416-422-5644 or 1-877-422-1112.
You are looking for used equipment.
SCIO runs the SCIO Marketplace on Facebook for buying, selling or donating accessibility equipment, and Possibilities Project Plus, a hub for exchanging assistive devices to lower the cost.

What can be covered
Equipment SCIO's staff can help you find funding or options for. SCIO does not publish a form, criteria or amounts.
Nothing in that group.
Spinal Cord Injury Ontario is not a single grant with a form. Its Service Navigation Coordinators help clients look at equipment options, get quotes and find funding sources, and its donor-funded Equipment for Independence program helps people who cannot afford essential equipment or repairs.

Before you buy
Talk to SCIO before you buy. Service Navigation Coordinators can help you get quotes and look at funding sources first. SCIO does not publish whether Equipment for Independence can help with something already bought, so ask before you buy anything you hope it will help with.
How to apply
There is no application form for equipment funding. You start with a free referral, then work with a Service Navigation Coordinator on equipment, quotes and funding.
