    Episode 1: Parent and Self-Advocate Perspectives: Can We Find Common Ground?

    Where do the perspectives of parents and self-advocates overlap, and where do they differ? In our first episode of The Table, Rob Hudson and Ian Allan explore the sometimes complicated, but deeply important, conversations between families and people with disabilities themselves. Through honest discussion about identity, advocacy, independence, safety and the future, we examine how different experiences can shape different viewpoints and how listening to one another can help build stronger partnerships. Join us as we begin the conversation about finding common ground while making space for every voice at the table.
