    Wir werden alle mit unterschiedlichen Voraussetzungen geboren. (Interview mit Verena Nussbaum)

    Wir werden alle mit unterschiedlichen Voraussetzungen geboren. (Interview mit Verena Nussbaum)

    Die SPÖ hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt allen Menschen ein gutes & selbstbestimmtes Leben zu ermöglichen. 
    Menschen mit Behinderungen müssen in die Mitte unserer Gesellschaft geholt werden. SPÖ- Behindertensprecherin Verena Nussbaum kämpft in ihrer täglichen Arbeit für echte Anerkennung in Form von Lohn statt nur einem Taschengeld in den Tagesstrukuren, für den Abbau baulicher aber auch gesellschaftlicher Barrieren und ein inklusives Bildungssystem.

    A society that works for everyone! (Interview with Jenny Victory – Head of the Supported Needs and Disability Office for the Government of Gibraltar)

    A society that works for everyone! (Interview with Jenny Victory – Head of the Supported Needs and Disability Office for the Government of Gibraltar)

    Jenny Victory has been working within the field of disability since she was a teenager. Her experience ranges from charity work, respite centre manager, special educational needs teacher in a special school and in a secondary school, a learning support facility manager, behaviour consultant, key worker and currently working directly with the Government of Gibraltar, having set up its first Disability Office in 2021.

     Working directly under the auspices of Gibraltar’s Chief Minister and with Gibraltar’s Minister for Disability, Jenny is currently developing Gibraltar’s first National Disability Strategy.

     Most importantly, Jenny is the mother of a boy with rare chromosomal duplications which causes medical issues and profound learning disability. This has given Jenny insight into the lived experience of persons with disabilities.

     Her professional life has ironically merged with her personal life and she has made it her mission to build a community that works for everyone!

    What happens to adults with CP? (Interview with Alexandra Perera)

    What happens to adults with CP? (Interview with Alexandra Perera)

    What happens to adults with CP?

     It's a lifelong condition which does not disappear as soon as you turn 18 and it's one that both today's guest Alexandra Perera and I know all to well. 

    When people hear the word CP they immediately think of a person in a wheelchair or people who have increased difficulty walking but that is not the case. Alex is an advocate for people with hidden disabilities and today she'll share her story.
