Acerca de este título
Including people with disabilities fully into Canadian society, with the rights enjoyed by non-disabled people, requires a fundamental social transformation, not simply “fixing” some bodies. It requires deep changes in the attitudes, cultural images, and policies that make people with disabilities invisible, set them aside, undermine, or reject their contributions and value, and justifies their neglect, abuse, and death. This shift involves the simple recognition and honoring of the dignity, autonomy and rights of all people, including those who experience disabilities.
In the second edition of About Canada: Disability Rights, Deborah Stienstra explores the historical and current experiences of people with disabilities in Canada, as well as the policy and advocacy responses to these experiences. Stienstra demonstrates that disability rights enable people with disabilities to make decisions about their lives and future, claim rights on their own behalf, and participate actively in all areas of Canadian society. Disability rights can and does increase access to and inclusion in critical areas like education, employment, transportation, telecommunications, and health care. Additionally, Stienstra identifies new approaches and practices, such as universal design, disability supports, and income supports, that can transform Canadian society to be more inclusive and accommodating for everyone.
