  4. April 2014 The disability lens In an effort to assist policy makers and policy analysts to reflect on the adequacy of policy for disabled Canadians, we developed the Disability Lens, a series of questions derived from “Tips for policy analysis”(in McColl & Jongbloed, 2006. Disability and social policy in Canada (2nd ed.) These questions are intended to provide a quick, easy guide to assessing the important implications of policy decisions for people with disabilities.

  5. The Learning Collaborative The CDPA employs a unique methodology for emancipatory research and knowledge mobilization, known as the Learning Collaborative. Derived from research on health system improvement, the Learning Collaborative focuses on small but meaningful increments of change that can be readily achieved and studied, and then expanded to effect broader outcomes. The Learning Collaborative approach has the advantage of effectively using the skills and aptitudes of researchers and consumers to achieve the following steps:

  6. April 2014 Disability policy scan (2nd ed.) The first edition of the policy scan was one of the earliest research activities of the Canadian Disability Policy Alliance. It was disseminated through the website of the CDPA, and has been one of the most frequently consulted resources on that site. Several noteworthy changes have occurred in a number of jurisdictions since the first edition was completed. We hope that this document will provide a catalyst for researchers, advocates and analysts to compare changes over the five-year period; compare policy between jurisdictions; examine the impact of policy changes; and, further explore specific policy areas and sectors. A vision of Canada where people with disabilities enjoy full participation and citizenship, supported by a coherent framework of legislation, regulation and programs.
