Autism is a complicated and highly individualized disability. Yet most government disabilities programs do not provide the necessary services and resources for adults with Autism. This documentary explores the limitations of Alberta’s Persons with Developmental Disabilities Program with a focus on unfunded adults on the spectrum.

Produced by Meagan Miller. Original broadcast May 22, 2019.

Autism and Alberta's Persons with Developmental Disabilities Program

We are Edmonton's independent, volunteer-powered campus & community radio station!

Broadcasting from the basement of the Students' Union Building at the University of Alberta located on Treaty 6 land, CJSR operates as a non-profit society and registered charity. 

Our mission is to “enlighten and entertain our audience through high quality and diverse programming that constantly challenges the status quo”. We do this by amplifying voices and perspectives often underrepresented in mainstream media. We provide a safe and inclusive (and fun!) environment for folks to learn the ins and outs of audio production, as well as educate listeners on local issues and stories.

LETS CHALLENGE ARCHAIC BELIEFS AND DEBUNK OLD IDEAS ABOUT DISABILITY TOGETHER
