How this works for
Community Organizations
What do we mean when we say “Community organizations”?
Disability and Deaf representative organizations
These organizations, coalitions, cross-disability or umbrella groups are made up of, and controlled by, persons with disabilities, Deaf persons, and/or their family members. These organizations were created to advance and defend the rights of persons with disabilities.
Disability and Deaf support organizations
These organizations provide services to people with disabilities and/or Deaf persons, advocate on their behalf, undertake research, provide training and awareness building, and/or deliver accessibility services.
Other civil society organizations relevant to people with disabilities, Deaf people, and supporters
These organizations have constituencies which include persons with disabilities, Deaf persons, and family members. Disability and Deaf services are not the primary mandate of these organizations.
