Assistance for Persons with Disabilities - National Report 1999-2000,
2000-2001
In June 1996, persons with disabilities were identified as a priority area of joint social policy reform at the First Ministers' meeting. The Working Group on Benefits and Services for Persons with Disabilities was subsequently established with four primary areas of focus: reform of Vocational Rehabilitation for Disabled Persons, harmonization of benefits and services, development of a vision/framework for reform, and analytical research. Employability Assistance for People with Disabilities Federal, provincial and territorial governments began working together early in 1997 to explore ways to improve the jointly-funded Vocational Rehabilitation for Disabled Persons (VRDP) program, which had been in place for over 35 years. In October 1997, Ministers responsible for Social Services approved a Multilateral Framework for Employability Assistance for People with Disabilities1 which will be used to guide the negotiation of new bilateral agreements with the provinces and territories under Employability Assistance for People with Disabilities (EAPD). Please call 1-800-788-8282 if you wish to order this document in an alternative format. EAPD responds to the needs identified
through the Federal Task Force on Disability Issues (the Scott Task Force)
and through provincial/territorial consultations for more appropriate programs
and services to help people with disabilities overcome the barriers they
face in the labour force. EAPD will help people with disabilities
prepare for, obtain and maintain employment. The new name reflects
this stronger focus on employability.
