Reflections on Disability Diversity
Disability resonates with inability to perform normal duties due to mental, cognitive, emotional, sensory, developmental, and physical or a combination of these factors resulting to unfitness.

There are organizations that provide print materials on disability in Canada. Neil Squire society has been involved in the inclusion of the disabled persons through provisions of the new technologies. This is critical in that the technologies enable disabled persons to participate in the community affairs. Disability network in Canada has been immensely involved in disability awareness.
