Disability Research Integration

Produced by Andy Hoffer and funded through the Disabilities Health Research Network

The SFU Centre for Disability Independence Research and Education (CDIRE) provides a site where persons with physical disabilities can meet with researchers to analyze ways to improve their performance of activities of daily living and other needs, and to come up with innovative solutions that may be jointly conceived, developed and tested. Our setting encourages participation by and knowledge transfer among researchers, staff, undergraduate and graduate students, educators, clinicians and health professionals.

The CDIRE promotional video was produced by Scionized Media of Port Moody, BC in December 2008/January 2009, hence the wintry scenery. Katrina Hoffer, a third-year SFU communications student, created the script and directed the interviews. Justin Hwang, a third-year UBC film student, shot and edited the video footage. The interviewed subjects are students, faculty, and staff who participated in CDIRE-sponsored activities.
