The Benefits of Utilizing the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) in Ontario.

When individuals are living with mobility challenges, chronic conditions, or recovering from injury, the conversation quickly shifts from “what’s available” to “what truly works in everyday life.”

That’s where Ontario’s Assistive Devices Program (ADP) becomes more than just funding support, it becomes a pathway to greater independence, comfort, and quality of life.

But funding alone is only part of the solution. The real impact happens when the right products, expert guidance, and home accessibility solutions come together seamlessly.

At Durham Medical, we see ourselves as more than a supplier. We are a full-service accessibility partner, helping individuals and families find solutions that support safety, independence, and confidence at every stage of care.

Riding for All – How Adaptive Trikes Bring Joy, Mobility, and Independence to Kids with Special Needs.
For many children, learning to ride a tricycle is more than just play—it’s a meaningful milestone. It represents freedom, independence, and the joy of moving on their own. The feeling of the wind on their face and riding alongside friends or siblings is something many kids experience without a second thought.

For children with special needs or mobility challenges, that same experience can feel out of reach.

That’s where adaptive trikes make a difference. They help bridge the gap, giving children with physical or developmental challenges the opportunity to experience that same sense of joy, confidence, and independence as their peers.

At Durham Medical, supporting families in finding the right mobility solutions is part of something bigger. It’s about creating access, fostering independence, and improving everyday quality of life, one ride at a time.
