  1. Working with other organizations within the Canadian disability community

National Disability Network | Collective Impact Project

The National Disability Network (NDN) Collective Impact Project brought together over 30 disability organizations across Canada.

The vision of the NDN Collective Impact Project was that disability organizations in Canada work together, support each other and become better at what they do. Autism Alliance was the lead organization on this project with 7 other disability organizations on the steering committee. In this project, organizations agreed to form the Disability Network.

  • Disability human rights
  • Inclusion and accessibility
  • Intersectionality 
  • Inclusive participation

Testimonies

“Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility is proud to have been an integral part of the Collective Impact Project led by Autism Alliance of Canada. Through our participation, we have witnessed the transformative power of collaboration as we bring together our expertise, resources, and passion to create meaningful change for people with disabilities and the organization that serve them across Canada. Together, we are breaking down barriers, raising awareness, and fostering inclusivity, ultimately paving the way for a more inclusive and supportive society.”

Christopher Sutton
Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility

“There are times in a person’s working life when they collaborate with partners and it becomes a life-changing experience. Working with the Autism Alliance Team, along with our other partners on the Collective Impact (CI) Project was one of those experiences for me, both personally and professionally. As the lead/Secretariat for the CI Project, Jonathan, Franziska and Malvina anchored us with astute management and ample diplomacy. I look forward to collaborating with Autism Alliance and our other partners again in the near future!”

“Working with Autism Alliance on the Collective Impact Project was a fulfilling experience, as the Alliance provided practical secretariat and leadership work with the larger disability communities. We are all in a better spot now that the project is completed – I look forward to CCRW’s continued work with the Alliance to ensure a barrier free society for all people living in Canada.”
