 The
key role of the professional from the Réseau de la
Santé et des Services Sociaux
The role of the professional is very important. The forms
certifying an impairment that are completed by the professional
(Part 2 and 3)must contain enough information to answer the
following questions:
- Is the impairment significant and permanent?
- Is the impairment severe enough with respect to mobility
to justify the use of the paratransit service?
- Would the person be capable of using the regular public
transit service after a rehabilitation period or after taking
a training or familiarization program?
It is important for the forms to be completed correctly,
otherwise the Eligibility Committee cannot reach a decision.
A new form will then have to be sent to the applicant and
processing of the application will be delayed.
