Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The Ontario Disability Support Program uses a functional limitations perspective, as it focuses on the limitations individuals face in their daily activities due to their physical or mental impairment. This perspective looks at how an impairment affects a person's ability to function in different domains of life, such as personal care, community participation and employment.
