This FREE interview and discussion is brought to you by the Enabled Disabled Project (EDP). The Enabled Disabled Podcast is created for people with a disability, as well as their families, friends, clinicians and therapists. This platform helps dive into how our guests have experienced disability; what has it taught them about themselves, about life, about others; what tools or experiences have helped them to better navigate and adapt to the world; what do they wish other people knew about them; what are they working on now; how would they like to improve the world.
