The following is a section from the Skills Society's Leadership Workbook "Learning About Disability Movements in Alberta's History". This is a summary of key disability movements in Alberta in the last 50 years. It’s important to recognize this is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding the evolution of disability rights in Alberta - these brief summaries have been designed to be short and accessible, offering key points to help leaders on the ground working alongside people with disabilities. They do not capture the nuance and depth of each of these movements that have been elaborated upon within disability studies by activists, scholars, and changemakers over several decades.
