The Board has a policy and procedure related to Accessible Customer Service:
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), 2005 uses the same definition of “disability” as the Ontario Human Rights Code, which includes both visible and non-visible disabilities. The Accessible Customer Service Standard was the first standard developed to become a regulation under the AODA. The standard addresses business practices and training needed to provide better customer service to people with disabilities.
We can’t always tell who has a disability. The broad range of disabilities includes hearing, vision, intellectual, cognitive, and mental. People with disabilities should have the same kind of opportunities as everyone else. They should be able to move around from place to place, go shopping, get a job, eat out, or go to school – just like everyone else. That’s what is meant by an accessible society.
About 1.85 million people in Ontario have a disability; that’s one in seven people. Over the next 20 years, as people grow older, the number will rise to one in five Ontarians.
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act 2005 and the related standards will assist businesses and organizations in ensuring their sites are accessible by all people, including people with disabilities.
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act (AODA) is legislation passed in 2005, setting standards that organizations must meet by 2025. The overall goal of the AODA is to prevent barriers for people with disabilities.
The Integrated Accessibility Standards, Ontario Regulation 191/11 sets accessibility standards to help organizations identify and remove barriers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities in five areas of daily life:
