ÉDUCATION

Let's be honest. Life with a disability can be difficult. Luckily, we are living in the twenty-first century. This podcast is about how living in the modern world has helped people with disabilities to have fairly "normal" lives. Join me as we explore why this is and as I try to look at disability from a social model perspective and change how the world sees disability.

Identity

Send us a textWhen someone says the word 'identity', it can mean many different things to many different people. This episode discusses the term as it relates to disability. The topic of disability and identity is too complex to cover in a single episode. Therefore, we will begin with my perspective on the matter.
