About Us
Developmental Services Ontario (DSO) is the access point for adult developmental services and supports funded by the MCCSS. There are nine regional DSO offices across Ontario that help adults with a developmental disability connect with services and supports in their communities.
Developmental Services Ontario Northern Region (DSONR) includes the districts of Thunder Bay, Kenora/Rainy River, Sudbury/Manitoulin and Algoma.
