Abstract
The article describes the process of developing a practical guide rooted in a participatory action study conducted at the Compagnie des jeunes retraités du Plateau to promote the inclusion of members with disabilities. The four phases were carried out by a committee made up of members of the organizations as well as researchers: (1) documentation of personal and environmental factors that may affect the participation of seniors with disabilities; (2) the design of inclusive measures concerning orientations, awareness, reception, and organization of activities; (3) conducting pilot projects to test these inclusive measures; and (4) the development of a practical handbook. The result combines knowledge, know-how, and skills to equip leaders and members of organizations that deal with seniors so that they may work toward the full participation of not only people with disabilities, but also those who are likely to be ostracized for other reasons.
