AODA Customer Service Standard for Caregivers
Providing accessible care is a legal requirement and a cornerstone of professional practice. Caregivers, PSWs, and support staff routinely interact with clients who experience physical, sensory, cognitive, or invisible disabilities. This course translates complex legal requirements into actionable, day-to-day care practices.
This course introduces caregivers to the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service and their responsibilities when providing services to individuals with disabilities. Learners will develop practical strategies for supporting independence, dignity, inclusion, and equal access to services.
