The Disability Inclusion Action Plan Survey
Your Experience Matters: The Disability Inclusion Action Plan Survey in English, ASL, French and LSQ, is an accessible survey used by Independent Living Canada in order to collect feedback from a broad range of Canadians with disabilities, both visible and invisible. While the Bridging the Gap project has primarily focused up until now on those with disabilities who live at the “margins of the margins” – the unhoused, new immigrants and refugees, and more – the survey aims to cast a wider net. Your participation can help ensure that policies, programs and services as part of the Disability Inclusion Action Plan are designed based on the most accurate information possible to reflect the challenges, experiences and issues facing persons with disabilities. With your help, we can shape Canada’s first-ever Disability Inclusion Action Plan! Canadians can access and complete the survey anonymously online by November 14, 2022. The survey can also be completed by phone: 1-800-567-2873 x5381 or by videos which can be submitted to: diapproject@gmail.com Link to the English survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DIAP-EN-ASL Votre expérience fait la différence : Le sondage sur le plan d’action pour l’inclusion des personnes handicapées en anglais, ASL, français et LSQ, est un sondage accessible afin de […]
