The Canadian Disability Policy Alliance’s first accessibility initiative was developed as a self -assessment tool that physicians and administrators could use to ensure their practices were fully accessible. The guidelines outlined in this checklist are based on research conducted jointly by the Centre for Health Services & Policy Research and the Centre for Studies in Primary Care at Queen’s University.
The tool is offered to raise awareness of disability issues in primary care and to assist practices with overcoming the various barriers that disabled Canadians face in accessing healthcare.
