Katie & Emma On What NOT To Say To Someone With A Disability UNAWARE with Be Physiology
-
- Society & Culture
It takes a particular sort of person to be a support worker.
In this episode of Be Stories, we chat with Emma and Katie about their roles as disability support workers.
Katie and Emma both care for Daelle, a creative 22-year-old woman living with Pachygyria Cerebral Palsy. We find out how Daelle helps to enrich Katie and Emma’s lives, and how exercise physiology has helped Daelle improve her overall health and abilities (a shameless plug for us EPs, we’re not even sorry).
We also find out about what it's like in Charters Towers, a small town in rural Queensland where they are both from. The town has ghost tours, a great pub, and a fireman pole in the local bowling alley - what more could you need?
In this heartwarming conversation, Katie and Emma tell us how growing up around people with disabilities inspired them to become support workers and we get their top tips for future support workers, we learn what NOT to say to someone with a disability, and the best (and worst!) parts of being a support worker – happy listening!
Be Stories By Be Physiology | Season 2 of UNAWARE
Tune in to hear our amazing guests talk about their experiences of disability. Ever wondered how it feels to live with a spinal cord injury? Or what it’s like to use a wheelchair every day? Curious about how a brain injury can affect someone’s day-to-day life?
We discuss all this (and more!) in our second season of the podcast, titled ‘Be Stories’. Gain valuable insights into the world of NDIS support work, and learn what you definitely shouldn’t say to a person living with disabilities! We chat about the perks of living with disabilities (convenient parking is one of many) and discover more about the challenges our guests have faced and overcome.
We feel so privileged to be given the chance to discuss life and disability with these incredible people. Get ready for a stream of honest and eye-opening conversations – with a lot of laughs along the way!
P.S. This podcast contains a number of shameless plugs for exercise physiology, the most fantastic industry in the world. And no, of course, we’re not biased…
