“…Groups of people are encouraged to behave responsibly toward others; to be nurturing, civil, altruistic, and tolerant; and to work hard on behalf of the wider community (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). Examples of positive sources of information and advocacy include the disability rights movement (e.g., Charlton, 1998), the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act of 1990 (see also Bruyere & O'Keeffe, 1994;Pelka, 1997).…”

Positive psychology explores factors that make life worth living and the human strengths that enable individuals to confront challenges, appreciate others, and regard daily experiences as meaningful. This nascent area's focus can inform the direction of future research and practice in rehabilitation psychology. The authors discuss rehabilitation psychology's positive core strengths, identify positive psychology's levels of analysis and the implications for rehabilitation psychology, review subjective experiences following disability to illustrate positive rehabilitation psychology, consider some integrative positive models for research and practice, and recommend positive resources for rehabilitation psychologists. On the basis of existing strengths and emerging perspectives, the authors conclude that the prospects for a positive psychology of rehabilitation are excellent.

“…In 1995, during the provincial election campaign, Conservative leader Mike Harris promised in writing to enact an Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA) in his government's firstterm of office (Harris 1995:l). In 1996 and, the Ontario Legislature unanimously passed two resolutions calling on the Harris government to enact an ODA and to work with the ODA Committee in the formulation of such legislation (Ontario Legislature 1996 and.

This paper will provide a preliminary survey of the evolution and positioning of disability rights as human rights and the discrepancy between Canadian resettlement policies with regard to refugees and Canada's rhetoric with regard to persons with disabilities. Some of the activities of the disability rights movements are outlined and significant achievements at the international level through the United Nations are examined. Similar to the women's human rights movement, disability rights are also emerging from the margins towards the mainstream of human rights discourse. Canada's legislation and policies towards persons with disabilities have mirrored these developments in providing protection. However, for refugees with disabilities the benefits seem minimal. In fact, while proclaiming the rhetoric of disability rights to its own citizens, Canada has implemented policies which are discriminatory towards refugees with disabilities. Canada's overseas resettlement selection criteria is at odds with its domestic and international positions regarding the human rights of persons with disabilities.

“…The late disability historian Paul K. Longmore wrote in 1995 that the first phase of the disability rights movement was "a quest for civil rights, for equal access and equal opportunity, for inclusion." 3 He saw the second phase as "a quest for a collective identity. Even as the unfinished work of the first phase continues, the task in the second phase is to explore or to create a disability culture."…”

“…Even as the unfinished work of the first phase continues, the task in the second phase is to explore or to create a disability culture." 3 This cultural identification, including pride, emerges from the social model of disability, which views disability as caused by physical, attitudinal, and other barriers imposed by society, 1 a perspective Jost describes as ludicrous. Again, different disabled people have different opinions-likely caused by many factors, including not only their lived experiences with disability but also their sociodemographic status, cultural surroundings, and effects of ableism and disability discrimination.…”
