Résumé (anglais)

This interdisciplinary project created an atlas of maps that show, at a glance, the relationship between literacy and disability. This spatial look at the issues provides a tool for policy and service development. It reveals information about what promotes or hinders literacy, opportunities for communication and participation in society. The objective was to investigate the spatial characteristics of literacy and disability in Canada and the spatial characteristics of their relationship. Shown are: Statistical maps on literacy levels and disabilities factors across Canada, using age and grade level as the primary demographical attributes.
