Podcast Episode 2 Recap: Diversability Amplified - Back to School

The second episode of Diversability Amplified is now live! This month, we joined two community members and educators to discuss the unique experiences of getting back to school for those of us living with disabilities and the people who support us. We dove into a variety of topics, to include barriers to access, opportunities for action and empowerment, stories of resilience, and how this year poses its own set of both challenges and exciting prospects for accessible learning.
