Resources

People First of Canada finds, shares, and creates resources to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities know their rights, speak up for themselves, and take part in their communities.

Our resources connect to the issues and priorities that matter to our members. They cover topics like living in the community, making your own decisions, inclusive education, money and financial programs, relationships, human rights, and speaking up for change.

Many of these resources were created with and for self-advocates. We work to make information clear, useful, and easy to understand.

Here you will find guides, booklets, videos, research, plain language information, presentations, and other tools. (This section is currently expanding as we continue adding more.)

Whether you are a self-advocate, family member, supporter, educator, service provider, or ally, we hope you find something that helps.

Explore our resources. Learn about your rights. Find tools to help you speak up and take action.

A great resource for anyone is the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. You can find all the Articles of the Convention at these links:

• Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – Plain language version
• Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – Easy Read Version
