About the Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The members and partners of the COPHAN have pooled their expertise to bring you the content of this guide, which is a synthesis of the discussions on the needs of the population and on universal accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide is a reference document. While there is room for improvement, its contribution is unique and, most importantly, it stems from the milieu of persons with disabilities: NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US. It will help improve the life of persons with disabilities and of their family members, while guiding and informing the ministries, organizations, large companies and all persons concerned by the creation of an accessibility plan. This guide also aims at enhancing the public policies of the different levels of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
