ABSTRACT

This paper presents data about the demographics of disabled seniors in Canada and the range of economic, social, and environmental barriers which they confront. Issues are highlighted connected with the independent living paradigm, marginalization, and the multiple social problems of being elderly, disabled, female, and/or a member of a visible minority. The author then describes the implications for future action research, theory development, policy formulation, and social change.

Introduction by: Karen Stone

This lengthy, albeit important -- and timely because so many of us are facing the beginning of a new school year -- endnote comes from the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle. It is about accessibility in college/university computer labs. Note that I have taken the liberty to embellish some of their statements. Meanwhile, I encourage each and every one of you to make copies of this and distribute it to all concerned individuals. The UW begins by aptly saying:

IL program utvecklades för att ge tjänster åt personer med omfattande funktionsnedsättning som var missnöjda med den reguljära medicinska rehabiliteringsvården. IL programmens filosofi innehåller bland annat konsumentmakt, kamratstöd, arbete för gruppens rättigheter (advocacy) och eliminering av miljömässiga, fysiska och sociala hinder i samhället."
