Attendant care

Some students with disabilities may need assistance with personal care and mobility. Attendant care is for students who have a high-level physical disability. Your disability resource facilitator or campus co-ordinator and the co-ordinator of attendant care will assess the need for attendant care. This is necessary to provide sufficient time to arrange for this service. All attendant care is arranged through the Independent Living Resource Centre (ILRC).

Responsibilities of the attendant care co-ordinator

• Assess the weekly time for which you will require attendant care (maximum 45 hours per week).



• Arrange for service provider training and orientation.



• Make necessary arrangements for the attendant to be paid for services provided.

Student responsibilities

• Meet with the attendant care co-ordinator for the information required to initiate contact and secure the services of an attendant.



• Advise your campus disability resource facilitator or campus co-ordinator and the attendant care co-ordinator of any changes in your requirements.



• Attend all scheduled classes
