Partners in the disability community are the essential vehicle for promoting the program. Without their participation, the program would lack crucial sensitivity to the issues addressed across all disability communities.

The nine national disability organizations that developed, and continue to promote the card, include:

• Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians


• Canadian Abilities Foundation


• Canadian Association of the Deaf


• Canadian Association of Independent Living Centres


• Canadian Hard of Hearing Association


• Canadian Paraplegic Association

• Canadian National Institute for the Blind
  

• Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada


• People First of Canada
