C A N A D I A N C O A L I T I O N F O R T H E R I G H T S O F C H I L D R E N Based Rehabilitation has produced a foreign policy research paper that outlines the foreign policy and development assistance implications of community-based rehabilitation for persons with disabilities. 198 Conclusion Children with disabilities in Canada have varying opportunities to live full lives. While Canada has publicly-funded health and educational systems that are designed with “everyone” in mind, these systems do not necessarily meet the particular needs of children with disabilities. Children with disabilities are vulnerable members of society. Early identification and intervention services can be vitally important to their development but are not universally available. The supports and services necessary to ensure their Convention rights are widely seen as a privilege and not as an entitlement. The quality of care and support available varies according to what part of the country the child lives in and programs are limited or reduced in times of fiscal restraint. Public services do not sufficiently recognize the extra demands placed on the families of children with disabilities and many need better financial, physical, social and emotional supports. 72 Endnotes 1.
