Greg, a vibrant, active person with disabilities who receives support services that have enabled him to live independently in supportive housing for 18 years and volunteer in the community. The attendant outreach services Greg receives enable him to volunteer four days a week at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital where he is proud to give back to the hospital he called home from age nine - 18 before moving into his own apartment in the community. Greg has also received support from a specialized rehabilitation centre which helped set up his computer and voice-activated software, as well as assistance with his wheelchair, bed, lift and phone from an occupational therapist with the Home Care program.
