About Us

Research with relevance

ODSSBC is always asking questions about what constitutes the way we live in our world. We ask the hard questions, so you don’t have to. It is easier not to pursue research, and have a gaping hole in our understanding, than it is to ignore the data around us.

Advocacy unparalleled

ODSSBC is a set of self-advocates demanding change, not only by advocacy, but by taking charge and creating the services themselves. When self-advocates create and manage the services, the disability community wins because they get exactly the kinds of services they want, and the community living sector wins because they do’nt have to develop the services.

Personable Support

We provide heterogenous, consistent, and stable personal support for our peers and clients at Crosswinds. We use trauma-informed, personal-centered practice in our work, even amongst ourselves. Our goal with our low-cost therapies is to make behaviour support available to more families. Because there in no more status quo.
