Summary:
"Including people with disabilities fully into Canadian society 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 justify their neglect, abuse and death. 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 life and future, claim
rights
on their own behalf and participate actively in all areas of Canadian society. Exploring critical areas like education, employment, transportation, telecommunications and health care, she identifies new approaches and practices, such as universal design,
disability
supports and income supports, that can transform
Canada
to be inclusive for everyone. Deborah Stienstra holds the Jarislowsky Chair in Families and Work, is a professor of political science and the director of the Live Work Well Research Centre at the University of Guelph."--From publisher.
