1.6 million Canadians with disabilities can't afford the aids, devices, or medications they need due to high costs. . This staggering figure highlights a critical issue in our healthcare and employment systems. . For many, these essential tools are not just aids—they are lifelines that enable them to work, live independently, and contribute to society. . Addressing this gap is not just about improving individual lives; it’s about fostering a more inclusive and equitable community. . Join us in advocating for better support and resources for Canadians with disabilities. . Together, we can make a difference. #DisabilityEmployment #Accessibility #InclusiveWorkplace

In 2020, disabled adults in England made 28% fewer trips than non-disabled adults (Department for Transport: Disability and Accessibility Statistics, England 2020). It doesn’t need to be this way. ORA is on a mission to help make travel more accessible and inclusive for wheelchair users.

Disabled people make 38% fewer journeys per year than non-disabled people. That figure hasn’t changed for over 20 years... but it needs to change. It starts by giving everyone equal access to transport. Accessible transport enables disabled people to access education and employment, healthcare, or get together with friends and family. A lack of accessible transport means too often disabled people miss out. We’re on a mission to help make travel more accessible and inclusive. If you’re a business prioritising accessibility, find out how we can help you provide an accessible transport solution for your customers: openroadaccess.co.uk (Source: Department for Transport: Disability and Accessibility Statistics, England 2020). #Disabilityawareness #accessibletransport #accessibletravel #transportaccessibilitygap #transportforall

On this Global Accessibility Awareness Day, I reflect on my journey in the disability field. The strides made since the Canadian Supreme Court's landmark decision in the 1980s ending forced sterilization, the closure of institutions into the 2000s, and the brave actions of individuals like the late Leilani (O'Malley) Muir and People First Canada in challenging injustice have shaped the landscape of accessible healthcare in Canada and beyond. While significant progress has been achieved in providing humane and equitable care, persistent structural and systemic barriers continue to impede access to essential health services for persons with disabilities. Complex application processes and disability stigma create hurdles, limiting accessibility to vital resources. It is crucial to address barriers and work towards healthcare systems that are inclusive and accessible for all. Let's continue our efforts to break down obstacles and strive for a healthcare system that embraces diversity and supports every individual's well-being. #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay #InclusionMatters #HealthcareEquality

"Only 53% of survey respondents agreed that anyone who identifies as a disabled person should get access to the Canada Disability Benefit. Regarding the mechanism to prove disability, some people felt that applicants should be able to self- diagnose as disabled. This would help avoid bureaucratic hurdles, additional strain on the healthcare system and potential disqualification for those with invisible or episodic disabilities. However, it was also felt that a healthcare provider should be charged with establishing an individual’s eligibility or confirming a self-diagnosis.
