    Assistive Tech That Supports Disabled Lives

    Meet Angela Standridge, Director of the Texas Technology Access Program (TTAP) at the University of Texas. The program helps people with disabilities get access to assistive technology so they can live more independently. What is Assistive Technology (AT)? is any device, equipment, software program, or product that helps a person with a disability improve or maintain their ability to function. TTAP makes these tools easy to find and use. They not only have a library of available devices but also provide product demonstrations, 35-day loaner devices, recycled equipment, and information about national loan programs. Angela explains that the tool itself is not the full solution—the real solution is how the person uses it in their own environment to meet their specific needs.  Listen in and find out how this amazing program allows those of us with disabilities to live a more independent life.

    Reclaiming Identity After Brain Injury: Shawnee Harkins & The Harkins Method™

    After surviving multiple brain injuries at ages 18, 20, and 24, Shawnee Harkins turned her own recovery into a breakthrough approach for healing the brain. In this episode, Shawnee shares how her lived experience led to the creation of The Harkins Method™, a personalized, drug-free neuro-fitness protocol designed to accelerate recovery from a wide array of brain injuries, from concussion to TBI to stroke. Through adaptive, neuroplasticity-driven cognitive and physical training, The Harkins Method™ helps survivors improve memory, communication, speech, and executive functioning—while rebuilding confidence and identity.

    Olympic Bobsledder to CTE Advocate

    Imagine traveling down a sheet of ice at 90mph when your bobsled flips over and you slam your head into the ice wall. Meet William Person, 9 year member of the US Olympic bobsledding team. Join us as he shares his journey from college track and field, mental health advocate, member of the US Olympic bobsledding team to brain injury survivor and advocate. He saw first hand how untreated brain injuries devastate not only athletes but also military veterans and their families. William spent years in agony due to his repeated concussions. He only found relief when he began Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. His message is simple, “If your loved one is doing something that’s out of the norm, get them checked out!” Individuals with CTEs do not see how their behavior impacts those around them. Loved ones do.  Guest Social Media Info -  https://www.instagram.com/willp1234567?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr# https://www.facebook.com/william.person.792233/  https://www.facebook.com/one.man.with.a.chamber.hbot  Send us Fan Mail Support the show You can find this episode’s transcript here.
