Impact - The Book
Impact: Changing the Way We View Disability
by John Lord
Since its inception in the late 1970s, the Independent Living movement has played a profound role in enhancing the lives of Canadians with disabilities – and an equally significant role in the way Canadians view citizens with disabilities.
Impact: Changing the Way We View Disability (2010):
- Describes the key historical milestones of this innovative social movement;
- Explores some of the ways that IL is having an impact and influence on individuals and communities as well as on research and policy; and
- Identifies the issues likely to influence the future of the movement, and suggests ways the movement can address these issues.
Above all this is a story of resilience and possibilities, as people with disabilities take charge of their own lives and work with others to create positive change in their community.
