Description

In this episode, we discuss the challenges unique to parenting with a disability and how schools can be more welcoming not only to their students but to the parents of those students, as well.

Join Mihai and Dr. Jaimie Borisoff as they chat about what it's like to be a parent and a wheelchair user in Canada, including the struggle of dealing with an inaccessible school and a reluctant school board. They touch on playgrounds, restaurants, and more as they explore the attitudes surrounding disabled parenting and what can still be done to improve the experience, especially in education. Join us soon for Part 2, where we answer a fan question about para-sport and the Paralympics!
