Summary:
"Through a close examination of employment, education, transportation, telecommunications, and health care, this survey explores the landscape of
disability
rights
in
Canada
and finds that, while important advances have been made, Canadians with disabilities still experience significant barriers in obtaining their human
rights
. Using the stories and voices of people with disabilities, the consideration argues that
disability
is not
about
"faulty" bodies that need to be fixed but
about
the institutional, cultural, and attitudinal reactions to certain kinds of bodies, contending that neoliberal ideas of independence and individualism are at the heart of the continuing discrimination against "disabled" people. Asserting that achieving
disability
rights
is possible - but not through efforts to "fix" certain kinds of bodies - this analysis suggests that it can be achieved through universal design,
disability
supports, social and economic assistance, and a sense of belonging."--Provided by publisher.
