Share your Feedback: Educational Outcomes Survey

CNIB is looking to hear from people who are blind, partially sighted or Deafblind to gather information related to educational outcomes.

To better understand the K-12 educational experience and capture up-to-date data on high school graduation rates of Canadian youth with sight loss, CNIB has created an online survey.

We're inviting youth - ages 16-21 - with sight loss and/or their parents/guardians from across Canada to share their experiences.

Your input will strengthen our programs and services for youth, and help guide our advocacy efforts regarding education.

Those who complete the survey will have a chance to win a $100 iTunes/Google Play gift card!

The online survey should take 20 minutes. It closes Friday, March 8, 2019. 

To ensure optimal performance, Google Chrome or Safari are the preferred browsers. If you have any questions or come across any problems while completing the survey, please email research@cnib.ca

April 17, 2024 – Yesterday, the Government of Canada released Budget 2024 and announced that the long-awaited Canada Disability Benefit will start in July 2025, pending a regulatory design process. The benefit will be funded with $6.1 billion over the next six years. 

This investment equates to a proposed maximum of $200 per month for eligible recipients who qualify for the Disability Tax Credit. Further, Budget 2024 does not invest in a strategy or programs that enable people who are blind or have low vision to join the workforce. 

While the passage of the Canada Disability Benefit Act was an important first step, CNIB joins the growing list of organizations and advocates calling on the government to commit to more support to lift people with disabilities out of poverty.
