Citizens
With Disabilities - Ontario (CWDO) actively promotes
the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of persons with
disabilities through community development, social action, and
member support and referral. Our primary activity is
public education and awareness about the social and physical
barriers that prevent the full inclusion of persons with
disabilities in Ontario.
CWDO is proud to be Ontario's
representative at the Council of Canadians with Disabilities
since June, 2009.

Seeking participants with
disabilities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am doing a
research project to examine what Human Resources professionals
perceived they learned about disability at university or
college (or professional development seminars) and how well
they feel it prepared them for interacting with people who
have disabilities. This study will contribute to the goal of
exploring strategies for promoting more effective education
within these programs.
The project
begins with identifying some common themes or issues
encountered by people with disabilities in the
workplace. I am interested in interviewing persons with
disabilities who meet the following:
- You are either currently employed
or have been employed until recently
(until the last 3 years)
- or
have had at least 3 job interviews in the past 3
years.
- ANDyou
have a disability such that when you come into a room,
others would know you have a disability or they were told up
front that there was a disability.
- ANDyou
are located in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area.
If you meet these
criteria, you may be eligible to participate in this
study. Selected participants will be interviewed
individually for 60 to 90 minutes and will be paid an
honorarium of $40 (forty dollars).
Participants will remain anonymous. All
identifying information (including personal information) will
be removed from any reports and kept strictly confidential.
The insights gained from interviewing people with disabilities
will be used to help shape questions for the second phase when
Human Resources professionals are interviewed.
The information learned by the end of this study
will be used to help shape future projects exploring
strategies for more effective education/training on disability
topics in Human Resources courses.
The researcher will meet with you at a location
convenient for you (in Toronto or the GTA).
If
you are interested in taking part in this study or finding out
more information, please contact me at kim.disabilityresearch@gmail.com by December 1,
2009.
