    Accidentally Offensive? How Good Intentions Can Still Hurt

    In this episode of Driven By Purpose, Evan Rosenblum and Isaac Shapiro unpack what it means to be accidentally offensive in the disability community. Through real stories involving their families, they explain why well-meaning comments can still cause harm, how to redirect conversations respectfully, and how education can turn uncomfortable moments into genuine connection.

This conversation is about learning, listening, and meeting people where they are. We explore: ▫️ What “accidentally offensive” really looks like in everyday life ▫️ Why people talk past individuals with disabilities instead of engaging them ▫️ How to respond when curiosity crosses the line ▫️ The harm behind offensive language, even when not directed at someone ▫️ Why calling someone “inspirational” can miss the point ▫️ How inclusive schools shape empathy and real-world understanding ▫️ A powerful story of a student using a 3D printer to help a classmate If you want to be respectful, inclusive, and supportive without feeling awkward or afraid to say the wrong thing, this episode is for you.
