Your Accessible Life Gloria Lepik Corrigan

Lessons we've learned on the long, winding roads of advocacy. Patience and persistence help us to (slowly) change the world.

An interview with Lendel Bright, ADA Coordinator for St. Petersburg, Florida, shows us the wonderful ways his city approaches the opportunity to be as accessible and inclusive as possible.

Working with their CAPI committee (Committee to Advocate for Persons with Impairments) they strive to ensure their city is a welcoming place for people of all abilities to visit and live.

Finding accessible facilities should not depend on which US city or town you visit.  But as this story shows, there are still places where folks with disabilities can not safely go.

A company who specializes in autonomous buses shows us the value of understanding the needs of all customer groups - especially customers with  disabilities.

Travel can be challenging when you have a disability, and even more so during a pandemic. This podcast includes observations about a recent trip that included safely and accessibly driving from Florida to upstate New York and back.

So much changed in all of our lives as a result of COVID-19.  But, now that we may have had a chance to "settle-in" to our new reality, this can be a time to re-evaluate how we can get back to work living our best lives, even as our circumstances have changed - again!
