Finding opportunity, Accessibility Standards Canada
I would love someone to do research into the collective needs and shared experiences of the Hidden Disability Community. If I were able I would do this...but I can't.

Collectively, the hidden disability community is larger than the detectable disability community, but is less represented in research and advocacy. Such data and information would build awareness of our needs, as well as influence future research projects and , of course, influence the development of accessibility standards in Canada. We need this research!
