CCDS
Information
The
Canadian Centre on Disability Studies (CCDS) is a consumer-directed,
university-affiliated centre dedicated to research, education
and the dissemination of knowledge on disability issues.
Through its activities, CCDS promotes the full and equal
participation of people with a variety of disabilities in
all aspects of society, on a local, national and international
level. CCDS’ greatest strengths lie in building equal
partnerships and acting as a bridge between the disability
community and the government, corporate and academic sectors.
Because CCDS responds to the needs of people with various
disabilities at the grassroots level, its activities are
both broad-based and focused. As a result, CCDS’
work not only provides the impetus for social change, but
also leads to further collaboration and activities among
some of its key partners.
Since its incorporation in 1995, CCDS has been successful
in creating strong, viable partnerships with more than 174
individuals, groups, organizations, funders, universities
and governments around the globe. Some of these partnerships
have crossed traditional boundaries, making them unique
and innovative.
CCDS is now strategically moving forward to carry out universal
design research, development and training. It has brought
together leading experts in universal design as part of
the CCDS team. These experts have been involved with CCDS
on prior training projects. At the moment very few organizations
in Canada are carrying out universal design research.
