* The source adds the following information: "Persons who were selected from the list of respondents to the Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) who were in-scope for the Survey on Accessibility in Federal Sector Organizations (SAFSO)."

"For each type of barrier, respondents were asked to indicate how often they encountered it, either "never", "rarely", "sometimes", "often", or "always", or if it did not apply (i.e., the type of barrier was not relevant to their experience or condition). The overall calculation of barriers includes those who reported encountering at least one type of barrier "rarely", "sometimes", "often", or "always"."
