About Canada. Disability rights / Deborah Stienstra. by Stienstra, Deborah. Fernwood Publishing, 2020. Call #: 362.40971 S855a 2020 Subjects People with disabilities -- Civil rights -- Canada.   People with disabilities -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Canada.   People with disabilities -- Government policy -- Canada.   People with disabilities -- Canada.   Human rights -- Canada. Series About Canada series ; 9. ISBN:  9781773632551 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Disability rights Edition:  2nd ed. Description:  vii, 160 p. ; 18 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. 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.
