This group has two separate programs to assist people with disabilities and includes resources for health professionals.
PROP is dedicated to enabling people who need assisted ventilation to meet their respiratory needs while living in the community. The program provides a comprehensive range of equipment and supplies, respiratory therapy, education, and peer group support. PROP clients can call a respiratory therapist 24 hours a day. Services are available to anyone in BC.
TIL is divided into 2 areas: Augmentative Communication Systems (ACS) and Environmental Control Systems (ECS). ACSs are a range of devices which enable people who cannot speak or write to communicate with others. ECSs allow people with severe physical disabilities to control devices in their homes: telephones, light switches and electrical outlets, heating and security systems, door entry and access, and entertainment systems. There are some excellent videos on the Youtube channel on the Technology for Living website showing some of the options. Services are available to anyone in BC and are open to anyone with a disability, not just people receiving PROP services.
