This project will build resources for research informed by the experience of people with disabilities. These resources will be created through in-person and online events. 

This study will identify barriers in physical spaces and recommend ways to remove them. It will use computer models to show what accessible public spaces could look like. These models will be based on the experiences of people with disabilities.

Virtually all building standards have accessibility requirements. This study will show how these requirements can be improved to support the planning and construction of buildings.

Building standards are used by architects, engineers, and construction workers. The project team will propose solutions to help these users better understand accessibility requirements. People with disabilities will test the proposed solutions, such as best practices and guidelines, to ensure they are practical. 

This study will evaluate employment-related accessibility standards for Indigenous people with disabilities living in northern Canada. It will provide an Indigenous perspective to inform these standards.

A disability justice framework centres the experiences of excluded groups. This study will explore the intersecting experiences of young 2SLGBTQIA+ people with disabilities. It will study the increased barriers they may face in their communities. The study will include recommendations to increase accessibility. These will focus on buildings, outdoor spaces, programs and services, communication, and transportation.

This study will explore whether policies that support fragrance-free and scent-free spaces can help reduce or remove barriers in the built environment for people with environmental sensitivities. People with environmental sensitivities may have adverse reactions to something in the environment such as chemicals and perfumes.

This study will review existing information on sign language models. The goal is to develop best practices for accessible communications for the deaf and hard of hearing.
