AIDE Canada est financ\u00e9 par l’Agence de sant\u00e9 publique du Canada et par des contributions en nature de notre r\u00e9seau de centres. Nous n’acceptons pas de subventions ou de financement d’autres sources. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How does AIDE Canada \ufb01nd or create resources for the website?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Between January of 2019, when we launched our initiative, and September 2020, when we released the full version of our library and website, we held dozens of formal and informal meetings with groups, organizations and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read about who we spoke to, what we asked, what they told us and how we are using this information in our 2019\/2020 Community Consultation Report.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, AIDE will remain committed to ongoing input and guidance from our community. Understanding the wide range of individual, family and community needs and priorities is integral to our work. Please check out our \u201cwork with us\u201d page for current job posts and consultation opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Toolkit, Webinar, and Article Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can see a flow chart that describes how we create resources below. This is the process that we follow for resources like toolkits, webinars and videos. We also have other kinds of resources: our \u201clocate\u201d map and our lending libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lending Library Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The resources that you see in our lending library are selected by our librarian. To keep up to date on current issues and perspectives, our librarian follows a variety of authors, researchers, publishers and self-advocates. To select new materials for the library, she reads book reviews, consults with focus groups and listens to community suggestions offered through the “suggest a book” feature on the library website. \u201csuggest a book\u201d feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borrow free books, audiobooks, ebooks and more from the AIDE Canada Library<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AIDE Canada’s Approach to Ableism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AIDE Canada endorses the social model of disability as described in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We believe that it is society\u2019s response to difference, not the difference itself, that creates disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definition of Ableism:<\/strong> Ableism is discrimination in favor of people who are able-bodied and\/or neurotypical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of Ableism:<\/strong> Some forms of ableism are obvious, like using accessible parking spaces without a permit, or wearing scents in a scent-free environment. In the context of the autism and\/or intellectual disability community ableism might mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
