PARACOR

From a perspective of self-determination and self-identification, Paracor acknowledges that "disability", as defined above or a variation thereof, is a term used by some individuals who live with long term, chronic and/or episodic physical, neurological, developmental, sensory and/or mental health conditions. We also acknowledge that the term "disability" may not reflect the self-identification of all individuals living with conditions that impact their functioning. From a social model perspective, we support the removal of social, political and environmental barriers as a step towards open access and the re-framing of disability as diverse, unique and strengths-based... The Paracor Initiative is a pilot project that provides information on community leaders and influencers, organizations, local events, and news in the disability community.
