OCASI- THE ONTARIO COUNCIL OF AGENCIES SERVING IMMIGRANTS
Cordially invites you to our:
1/2 Day Accessibility Training Session
Moving to a new country presents many challenges and opportunities for newcomers. The settlement process can be especially challenging for immigrants and refugees with in/visible disabilities. Learning who immigrants and refugees with in/visible disabilities are, how to welcome and support them is something the settlement sector is becoming more aware of. While our broader understanding of disability has led to the enhancement of legislations and programs; when it comes to the unique obstacles facing immigrants and refugees with in/visible disabilities, service delivery has not been able to effectively address their needs.
Upon completion of the training you will be able to:
