CCD works from a human rights perspective, which argues that technology needs to be accessible so that people with disabilities experience its benefits. CCD works for laws, policies and programs that remove barriers to technology.

CCD’s Access to Technology Committee participates in research projects on accessible technology, liaises with technology service providers, appears before the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

Individuals cannot pursue their personal goals without access to transportation. Since its founding in 1976, CCD has been working to remove obstacles to the mobility of persons with disabilities from the modes of transportation within federal jurisdiction—air, rail, inter-provincial bus, and marine. CCD seeks the adoption of enforceable accessibility regulations for these modes.
