The Disability Tangent

E8 Deana Herrman on Disability and Language from a Practitioner and Parent Lens (Harassing Birds. FLY!)

Dr. Deana Herrman, Professor, Physical Therapist, and Parent joins the discussion today and brings so much knowledge and perspective around how we speak. We talk about expertise, lived experience, extending our practice to include social determinants of health and so much more. Y'all Christy is still the loudest, but Deana is the fastest speaker we have had on the program and she is packing in the information like a Gilmore Girl on fire, so get ready. And speaking of loud, there may be yelling--be prepared for that as well. Apparently some passionate feels come out at the intersection of disability and healthcare! Who knew? But we're all friends, folx. No guests, or birds, were harmed in the making of this episode.

E7 Ageism and Disability (Immortal Like The Highlander)

A tangent full of tangents explores the topic of age and how it relates to disability. We touch on milestones, mobility aids, and making assumptions and the way these relate to ableism as Rocco and Christy jump into this discussion. Learn more about the hosts as they share a bit about their personal journeys with illness in youth and how that contributed to their views on disability today. And, of course, be ready for some wild and wacky side conversation, because we can't seem to get through an episode without it--the name of the podcast says it all, folks. Tangents Away!

E6 Disabled Researchers Part 2 (Reciprocal Co-humaning?)

Round Two with Dr. Robin Arnall and Alexandra Elfers as we continue our discussions of autism, disability, power, passion, and how to be people through it all. You thought we touched on a lot last week? We were apparently just getting warmed up! There is so much more. And honestly, if we hadn't all run out of spoons (and perhaps also forks) we might have kept on talking for another two hours. This episode we hit on some controversies in the ABA community, how to be a good human, the challenge of masking--or not masking--as a neurodiverse human, and how consent has a complex history when it come to disability. Lots to unpack and we barely scratch the surface, but come along as we start to look at these issues in our second hour of conversation.

E5 Disabled Research Change Agents (I’m Surprised I Have Pants On)

This week we invite Dr. Robin Arnall, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA, and Alexandra Vassar, MS, BCBA, COBA, NCLBA into the room for a massive discussion. Well, not the literal room because we all want virtual work as an accommodation. Robin and Alexandra join us to discuss work in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis and the controversies over power, control, systems, and consent that come along with being neurodivergent in this space. There are numerous tangents, a few sensitive subjects, lots of laughs, and even some tears. There are also a number of apologies from Christy who seems intent on offending everyone she has ever met in this discussion--if she doesn't apologize to you in this episode, stay tuned for Part 2!

E4 DEI, Disability, and the Woke Agenda (Sneezes and Curses)

This week we hit all of the contentious topics in tangent form! Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the so-called Woke Agenda, the ways that disability intersects, and how politics, race, poverty, and even being "pretty" shape our worlds are discussed. And in true Disability Tangent form we also talk about Christy's witchy ways, Rocco's drinking habits, philosophy, distraction, and imaginary ways to shop that should totally exist! Things get a bit wild and possibly overwhelming, but we hope there is also a little bit to learn and to consider. Buckle up, and thanks for joining us on the journey!

E3 Fabulous LEND Fellows (No, You’re The Best)

The women behind the scenes get pulled in front of the camera--if the camera were working properly, but it isn't. Why technology challenged humans are trying to host a podcast is a question we do not answer but we have many answers about the Illinois LEND program, what it is like to work with and for Rocco and Christy, how being an insider gets you perks like mocking the hosts, and what Cydney Liebenberg and Hannah Brandt are doing with the experiences from this year working on the podcast. We couldn't have done it without them! We really, really couldn't have. We aren't really sure we can keep pulling this off come May, to be honest. Stay tuned to find out and to hear more about these amazing women who are doing so much to change the way disabled bodies are viewed and addressed in physical therapy. They are going to do great things and we can't wait to continue following them on their journeys!

E2 Traveling with Catarina Rivera (Who in the World is Asking the Questions?)

Take a trip with us to learn all about accessible travel! Catarina Rivera joins us to share about her travels, her tips, her work, and her desires for even more access. She has lots of information for you if you are a person with a disability who wants to travel. She has lots of insight and passion to share with you if you are a non-disabled person. She basically has all the fabulous words and Rocco and Christy just stumble through this episode as they sit in awe of all this wisdom. Or in jealousy of this location independent lifestyle. Certainly not in lack of preparation or a fog settling over cognition--never that.

E1 WelcoME Gavin Neate (Making Sourdough Bread Together)

Gavin Neate, founder of WelcoME joins us to chat about making venues accessible, making tech sustainable, making community a priority, and making sourdough bread. That's right, we can make a tangent out of most any topic, friends, and this episode has a few. Gavin is masterful in getting us back around to the point, which is getting WelcoME (or something like it... but we prefer his company--in both senses of the word) to these United States, and the world. That's right. It's only our first episode and we are seeking to take over the world! With disability justice and customer service!
