Résumé
Les personnes immigrantes vivant avec des incapacités font face à des obstacles à leur inclusion sociale. Peu de travaux scientifiques ont porté sur les expériences des personnes situées au confluent d’identités sociales dévalorisées en lien avec le handicap et la situation migratoire. L’étude présentée vise à comprendre le sens et l’expérience de l’inclusion sociale pour les personnes immigrantes vivant avec une incapacité à Montréal, au Québec. Une recherche-action participative mobilisant une stratégie d’élicitation du discours par les arts a été réalisée au sein d’un organisme de soutien aux personnes migrantes en situation de handicap. Les résultats obtenus auprès de huit participants comportent deux thèmes globaux relatifs à l’expérience de l’inclusion sociale, soit le triple désavantage (race, statut migratoire et handicap) vécu par les personnes dans leurs trajectoires d’inclusion sociale et la résilience personnelle et collective comme contrepoids aux expériences d’exclusion. Ces résultats suggèrent que des changements structurels sont requis pour favoriser une inclusion sociale équitable, en particulier en matière d’accès à des services essentiels de réadaptation.

Abstract
Migrants and people with disabilities face barriers to social inclusion. There is limited research exploring the experiences of social inclusion of people located at the intersection of devalued social identities, such as migration and disability. This study aims to understand experiences of and meanings ascribed to social inclusion from the perspective of individuals living with a disability and identifying as migrants in Montreal, Québec. A participatory action research study was conducted within a community organization serving individuals with disabilities who identify as migrants. Eight individuals participated through arts-based discourse elicitation methods. The study identified two main themes: the triple disadvantage related to race, migration status and disability in the participants’ paths in social inclusion and building individual and collective resilience to overcome social exclusion. Results suggest that more changes on the systemic level need to occur to ensure inclusiveness for all, particularly in terms of access to essential rehabilitation services.
