Community Access Partners

Introducing Whirlpool Homecare MagnusCards! With support from the Whirlpool appliances brand, we have now created 10 Homecare Card Decks that help break down and simplify kitchen and laundry tasks. They cover practical life skills such as loading the dishwasher, how to store and organize food in the refrigerator, washing clothes in a washer, how to read laundry symbols, and more.

The Big Picture

Mandates like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) guarantee equal opportunity in public accommodations, such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, doctors’ offices, retail stores, museums, libraries, parks, government services, and more.

— Case Studies

CIBC MagnusCards – Making Banking and Money Easier

"We normally sit down and do them together, but my son can also use the app independently. If he struggles with reading the words, the app will read the content to him. Once he has gone through the card deck a few times, we practice the skills at home with pretend play. Once he is confident, it is time to take his skills out into the real world!"

Shelley, a mother of a nine-year-old son

Making Airports Accessible

"As a parent to a child with special needs, it's great knowing that I can feel comfortable about taking her to the airport and letting her be independent."

Cheryl Kocvara, a mother of a 23-year-old autistic daughter

The Town of Oakville

"This is the tool that is there for them. It also provides learning tools for those parents and guardians to assist their child or friend on how to use transit. Once they are more comfortable and confident using public transit, they can use it to expand their opportunities in the community."

Joanne Phoenix, Manager of Planning and Accessible Services with Oakville Transit
