Ability Private Client Group is a team of professionals centred around helping clients achieve financial independence and peace of mind through the use of reliable financial investments and insurance services.
Our goal is to help secure the financial future of a disabled beneficiary and maximize benefits such as the Ontario Disability Support Payments (ODSP). We do this by creating a customized plan which includes the use of life insurance policies, family trusts, and the Registered Disability Savings Plan.

Special Needs Planning Group
Financial Advisor
The “Special Needs” Planning Group is an organization that is made up entirely of parents of people with disabilities. We feel that this is important since we believe that no one can simply read a book and truly understand the feelings and concerns that parents have with respect to the needs of their sons or daughters with disabilities. We are experienced, knowledgeable professionals who understand the issues because we are living those issues. We are not experimenting with your family member’s situation. We use a team approach to planning using Planners, Lawyers and Accountants, all of whom are specialists in planning for people with disabilities and we provide solutions which include much more than just a will and a trust account.
