Episode 6 - Missing Out and Coming Up
In this episode, we discuss missing school and disability representation in various popular media channels.
Join Mihai Covaser, Maggie Manning, Élise Doucet, Payton Given, and Alexis Holmgren as they tie off the opening of this community audio project with a collaborative episode. They discuss the experience of being forced to miss school due to a lack of accommodations, cover how the media tends to portray living with a disability, and drive home the message that the story of each individual is unique and crucial to guiding a successful educational journey. From all of us, thank you for your support in the early stages of this initiative and, as always, we'll see you next time.
