Resilience with Shamby Polychronis

To kick off our second season, Annalisa is joined by Dr. Shamby Polychronis. 

This episode discusses resilience. During a time of such isolation, we don't think there's a more timely topic. Through Shamby's openness and vulnerability, we learn how she has persevered during the most difficult times of her life. We talk about everything from resilience at work to raising resilient children.

Shamby is a Special Education professor in the Education Department at the University of Utah. She is a passionate advocate for disability rights. She advocates for alternatives to guardianship, full inclusion in school and community environments, meaningful employment, and eliminating aversive interventions. Her scholarly work and interests include post-school outcomes for students, family support services, and teacher education. You can learn more about her and her work on LinkedIn.
