Disability Policy in Canada Federal Report Released!
DiPo researchers published a report detailing disability policy at the federal level in Canada.
DiPo, in partnership with the researchers at McGill University, released the Disability Policy in Canada Federal Report in December 2023. This comprehensive report—commissioned, funded, and supported by Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN)—sheds light on the current landscape of federal disability policy in Canada.
This is the first-ever Canadian report summarizing disability policy at the federal level that includes family experiences applying for and accessing programs (see the Experiences with Disability Programs project for more details). The report also provides additional context and policy connection to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD). We provide a snapshot of the contents of the report in the graphic below.
Stay tuned for the provincial and territorial version of this report - coming in early 2024!
