In this free 1-hour webinar we explore the access barriers faced by those with hidden mobility disabilities and options for addressing those barriers. Data from a June 2022 nationwide survey will be shared during the webinar to provide a picture of how HDM is affecting Canadians.
Research has defined hidden mobility disabilities (HMD) as being able to walk – but only for 35-50 feet – and being able to stand unsupported – but only for 1-2 minutes – without significant health consequences.
Topics addressed in this webinar include:
Overview of hidden mobility disabilities
Types of barriers experienced
Common myths and misunderstandings
Suggested accessibility guidelines
Commonly asked questions
Where to get more resources on HMD
Participants will also be given the opportunity to be part of a project on hidden mobility disabilities accessibility, funded by Accessibility Standards Canada.
