They did this at a time when disability-related supports didn&#8217;t exist, and in resistance to recommendations that their children be institutionalized.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-10005\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Inclusion-Canada-Logo-300x162.png\" alt=\"Inclusion Canada's logo\" width=\"307\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Inclusion-Canada-Logo-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Inclusion-Canada-Logo-400x216.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Inclusion-Canada-Logo.png 693w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" \/>Now, with 13 provincial and territorial member organizations and more than 300 local associations, Inclusion Canada has become the only national organization working solely on behalf of people with intellectual disabilities and their families. It does so believing in a Canada where everyone belongs. Inclusion only happens when the lives of children and adults with an intellectual disability unfold no differently than others \u2013 immersed together with their peers without a disability in the same pathways and experiences of life common to us all.\u200b<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Challenges remaining<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_10036\" style=\"width: 448px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10036\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-10036\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Woodlands474-300x204.jpg\" alt=\"A huge, grey, stone building of three stories, with turrets and smoke from chimneys.\" width=\"438\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Woodlands474-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Woodlands474-400x272.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Woodlands474.jpg 474w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Woodlands School, in BC, was a psychiatric institution operated by the government and closed following advocacy from people with lived experience.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Many challenges to a fully inclusive society remain. There are roughly 755,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities in Canada. Despite the gifts and contributions they bring to their families, classrooms, workplaces and communities, the majority live in precarious conditions. Discrimination on the basis of disability is often disguised as progress. Students with an intellectual disability are segregated, away from their peers, in rooms purportedly designed to meet their needs. Administrators claim that those asked to attend school part-time are being accommodated. Across the country, many supports are available only in group homes and long-term care facilities, institutions widely documented as places of abuse and isolation.<\/p>\n<p>Widespread use of mental health laws, guardianship and committee-ship continue to prevent people with intellectual disabilities from making crucial decisions about their healthcare, finances, family life and property.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Human rights violations and systemic discrimination against people with an intellectual disability persist in Canada. Ableism \u2013 the belief that it\u2019s \u201cnormal\u201d not to have a disability and that \u201cnormal\u201d is preferred \u2013 plays into this. Ableism is discrimination on the basis of disability. Because of it, children and adults with an intellectual disability can go through life believing they don\u2019t belong.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Inclusion Canada is committed to ending ableism and ensuring that people with an intellectual disability realize the rights to which they are entitled under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/instruments-mechanisms\/instruments\/convention-rights-persons-disabilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities<\/a> that Canada has ratified, as well as under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/csj-sjc\/rfc-dlc\/ccrf-ccdl\/check\/art15.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/a>. By enabling inclusive lives for people with an intellectual disability, we\u2019re helping to build a Canada where everyone\u00a0has the opportunity to\u00a0thrive\u00a0and prosper.

We partner with educators, healthcare workers, finance and legal professionals, employers, housing developers, municipalities, and others. We engage with governments and national agencies on policy development and law reform, encourage key sectors to adopt inclusive practices, participate in court cases that have the ability to affect change, and maintain an ongoing dialogue with the public through online platforms and national campaigns that amplify the contributions and voices of people with an intellectual disability and their families. We conduct community research, developing and sharing resources for people with lived experience, as well as for community leaders, employers and policymakers about how to make inclusion work \u2013 whether at home, at school, in the workplace or in the community.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10007\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10007\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10007\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/panl\/wp-content\/uploads\/InclusionCanadaUN2025TaraWithColleagues500-300x401.jpeg\" alt=\"Tara Levandier stands beside two colleagues in a auditorium at the United Nations.

Three things have contributed to these successes: we remain grounded in the lived experience of people with an intellectual disability and their families; we work in solidarity and collaboration with allies; and we base our quest on human rights. Rights aren&#8217;t favours for which we should be grateful. Rights aren&#8217;t negotiable. The beauty of rights is that you claim them \u2013 through sheer, unrelenting persistence, until they&#8217;re respected. We\u2019re committed to this work.<\/p>\n<p>As an example of this, Inclusion Canada recently participated in the Canadian civil society delegation that provided extensive testimony to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/treaty-bodies\/crpd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities<\/a> about the state of disability rights in Canada.
