As the month of June winds down, the National Educational Association of Disabled Students (NEADS) would like to wish the Community an accessible, inclusive, and empowering Pride Month, and reaffirm our commitment to being a progressive and intersectional national organization that reflects the rich diversity of the disabled post-secondary students and graduates with disabilities we represent.

This month and always, we reflect on the important cross-community solidarity and inherent interconnection between the disability and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and recognize the essential leadership and contributions of countless q***r disabled activists and advocates to both the disability and q***r justice movements.

As another Pride Month ends, we ask that our Community join us in celebrating the incredible accomplishments and contributions of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and practicing cross-community allyship year-round.

Alors que le mois de juin tire à sa fin, l’Association nationale des étudiant(e)s handicapé(e)s au niveau postsecondaire (NEADS) souhaite un Mois de la fierté accessible, inclusif et valorisant à la communauté . NEADS souhaite également réaffirmer son engagement à être une organisation nationale progressiste et intersectionnelle qui reflète la riche diversité des personnes étudiantes et diplômées au postsecondaire en situation de handicap qu’elle représente.

Ce mois-ci, comme toujours, nous réfléchissons à l’importance de la solidarité intercommunautaire et à l’interconnexion inhérente entre les communautés du handicap et les communautés 2ELGBTQIA+, et nous reconnaissons le leadership et les contributions essentielles d’innombrables personnes handicapées q***r qui militent et qui défendent les droits de la personne à la fois au sein des mouvements pour la justice pour les personnes handicapées et pour les personnes q***r.

Alors qu’un autre Mois de la fierté se termine, nous demandons à notre communauté de se joindre à nous pour célébrer les incroyables réalisations et contributions de la communauté 2ELGBTQIA+ et de pratiquer l’alliance inclusive intercommunautaire tout au long de l’année.

Did you know disabled workers can only earn $16,200 a year before they lose access to their disability benefits? And when they lose access to their disability benefits it sometimes can mean they lose access to other entitlements—like housing.

Living Wage Employers who want to do the right thing face a difficult dilemma: do they pay their disabled staff less by offering them fewer hours than their non-disabled peers or do they let their staff lose access to the support they’re entitled to?

The CCPA–BC partnered with Living Wage for Families BC, Poverty Reduction BC and Disability Alliance BC to sign this open letter asking that—during the upcoming review of the Poverty Reduction Strategy—these restrictions be removed so that disabled workers can earn a .

Help NEADS inform the Youth Mental Health Fund 📣

NEADS has been invited to participate in a roundtable discussion tomorrow with Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Ya'ara Saks, and we want to hear about your experiences navigating mental health care as a disabled and/or neurodivergent post-secondary student!

The 1-hour roundtable aims to ensure funding best supports youth access to community mental health services, and centers on the following three questions:

📌What mental health services and supports are currently available for postsecondary students across Canada, and how can services be improved?

📌 Do post-secondary students know where to get help, and how can services be easier to reach and access both on and off campus?

📌 How can investments through the YMHF be designed to benefit youth attending post-secondary institutions in Canada, with emphasis on equity-deserving youth?

We currently plan to emphasize:

⭐️ the importance of legal protections and autonomy for students with psychosocial disabilities

⭐️ the impacts of unacceptable wait times and unaffordable out-of-pocket care on education and employment outcomes

⭐️ the need to ensure funding is allocated towards culturally appropriate and fully accessible mental health services

⭐️ the inadequacy of on-campus, post-secondary institution-provided mental health services

If you'd like to respond to these questions or share your own experience with the NEADS team, please leave a comment below, DM us, or email our Partnership Director at [email protected] 📲

Can a Crip Utopia Exist in Post-Secondary Education?

Join NEADS on May 27th from 6-7:30pm ET today as we enter in a discussion with disabled students and disabled activists to imagine a revitalization of post-secondary education – one that locates the diverse and intersectional needs of disabled students and neurodivergent students at the forefront of much needed institutional change. In doing so, we reflect on the meaning of ‘crip utopia’ in each of our lives and on the possibility of an eventual crip utopia within post-secondary institutions.

ASL interpretation, LSQ interpretation, and closed captioning will be provided at this event. Registration for this event is mandatory.

Une utopie crip peut-elle exister au postsecondaire?

Joignez-vous à NEADS le 27 mai 2024 de 18 h à 19 h 30 HE pour discuter avec des personnes étudiantes et des personnes militantes en situation de handicap afin d’imaginer une revitalisation des études postsecondaires qui placerait les besoins divers et intersectionnels des personnes étudiantes en situation de handicap et neurodivergentes au premier plan d’un changement institutionnel plus que nécessaire. Ce faisant, nous réfléchirons au sens d’une « utopie crip » dans chacune de nos vies et à la possibilité d’une éventuelle utopie crip au sein des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire.

L’interprétation ASL, l’interprétation LSQ, l’interprétation simultanée anglais-français, et le sous-titrage seront offerts durant cet événement. L’inscription à cet événement est obligatoire.

DÉCLARATION COMMUNE – L'inclusion par tout le monde, pour tout le monde
Le 27 mai 2024 - Ottawa, Ontario - Commission canadienne des droits de la personne

Pour marquer la Semaine nationale de l'accessibilité, du 26 mai au 1er juin 2024, la présidente intérimaire de la Commission canadienne des droits de la personne, Charlotte-Anne Malischewski, ainsi que le commissaire à l'accessibilité, Michael Gottheil, publient la déclaration suivante :

La Semaine nationale de l'accessibilité est l'occasion de réaffirmer notre engagement à éliminer les obstacles et à rendre le Canada plus accessible pour tout le monde.

L'accessibilité est un droit de la personne. Pourtant, les personnes en situation de handicap continuent d'être confrontées à des obstacles et à de la discrimination. En 2023, la majorité des plaintes acceptées par la Commission canadienne des droits de la personne reposaient sur un motif de discrimination fondée sur la déficience.

La discrimination fondée sur la déficience a une incidence sur les droits fondamentaux des personnes. Les droits à un logement adéquat, à l'éducation, à l'accès aux soins de santé, à l'emploi et à l'information sont inscrits dans la Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées. Lorsque ces droits ne sont pas respectés, ils créent des obstacles qui empêchent la création de communautés, de milieux de travail et de services inclusifs pour tout le monde.

La Loi canadienne sur l'accessibilité et son règlement exigent des organisations sous réglementation fédérale qu'elles identifient, éliminent et préviennent les obstacles à l'accessibilité. Le Bureau du commissaire à l'accessibilité veille à ce que les organisations sous réglementation fédérale s'acquittent de leurs responsabilités en promouvant et en faisant respecter la Loi.

Nous avons besoin de changements concrets pour faire du Canada un pays plus inclusif et plus accessible. Et pour cela, il faut changer notre façon de faire les choses. Nous devons nous concentrer sur des actions concrètes et des résultats pratiques. Nous devons faire davantage pour que les gens prennent conscience de l'importance et de la valeur de l'accessibilité pour tout le monde. Les obstacles doivent être éliminés, pour tout le monde, partout. Les espaces physiques et les environnements de travail doivent être transformés. Les attitudes doivent changer. Les politiques, les programmes, les pratiques et les technologies doivent devenir accessibles dès leur conception.

Une partie essentielle de ces changements consiste à consulter les personnes en situation de handicap et à dialoguer avec elles. Cela signifie qu'il faut prendre tout le monde en considération. Qu'il faut aller à la rencontre des gens là où ils se trouvent. Qu'il s'agisse de créer un espace à la table pour la communauté des personnes en situation de handicap, d'adapter les espaces physiques et les environnements de travail pour les rendre accessibles, ou de modifier les politiques, les programmes, les pratiques et les technologies pour les rendre accessibles dès leur conception, nous devons veiller à ce que les besoins de chacun soient pris en compte à l'avenir.

Il n'existe pas de solution unique. Mais en réfléchissant plus largement à l'accessibilité et en consultant les personnes en situation de handicap, nous pouvons prendre des mesures significatives en faveur de l'accessibilité pour tous et toutes.

Nous pouvons tous et toutes contribuer à la création d'un Canada exempt d’obstacles, en réfléchissant de manière inclusive aux diverses considérations relatives à l'accessibilité et en prenant des mesures pour éliminer les obstacles dans tous les aspects de notre vie.

Ensemble, faisons évoluer les choses pour tout le monde, en incluant tout le monde.

Inclusion by everyone, for everyone
May 27, 2024 – Ottawa, Ontario – Canadian Human Rights Commission

To mark National AccessAbility Week from May 26 to June 1, 2024, the Interim Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, Charlotte-Anne Malischewski, together with Accessibility Commissioner Michael Gottheil, issue the following statement:

This National AcessAbility Week is an opportunity to recommit to the removal of barriers and making Canada more accessible for everyone.

Accessibility is a human right. Yet, people with disabilities continue to face barriers and discrimination. In 2023, the majority of complaints accepted by the Canadian Human Rights Commission were based on disability discrimination.

Disability discrimination impacts people’s fundamental human rights. The rights to adequate housing, to education, to access healthcare, employment, and information are enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. When these rights are not respected, they create barriers that stand in the way of creating inclusive communities, workplaces, and services for everyone.

The Accessible Canada Act and regulations require federally regulated organizations to identify, remove and prevent barriers to accessibility. The Office of the Accessibility Commissioner helps ensure that federally regulated organizations live up to their responsibilities by promoting and enforcing compliance with the Act.

We need tangible change to make a more inclusive and accessible Canada. This means shifting the way we do things. We must focus on concrete action and practical outcomes. We must do more to ensure that people learn about the importance and the value of accessibility for all. Barriers must be removed– for everyone, everywhere. Physical spaces and workplace environments must be transformed. Attitudes must change. Policies, programs, practices and technologies must become accessible by design.

A crucial part of making these changes is consulting and talking to people with disabilities. It means taking everyone into consideration. It means meeting people where they are. Whether that is creating space at the table for the disability community, adapting physical spaces and workplace environments to be accessible, or shifting policies, programs, practices and technologies to become accessible by design – we need to make sure everyone’s needs are represented moving forward.

There is no single solution. But by thinking more broadly about accessibility and consulting people with disabilities, we can take meaningful steps towards accessibility for all.

We can all do our part in creating a barrier-free Canada, by thinking inclusively about the diverse considerations for accessibility, and by taking steps to remove barriers in all aspects of our lives. Together let’s bring about change for everyone, by including everyone.

Since its founding in 1986, the National Educational Association of Disabled Students (NEADS), has had the mandate to support full access to education and employment for post-secondary students and graduates with disabilities across Canada. NEADS is a consumer-controlled, cross-disability charitable organization (corporation # 1007761975RR0001). We represent our constituents through specific projects, resources, research, publications and partnerships. NEADS is governed by a national Board of Directors representative of all of the provinces and territories. Our work as an organization focuses on three core Strategic Program areas: 1.Student debt reduction 2.Student experience in class and on campus 3.Student and graduate employment
