Podcasts about disabilities

This week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast features Rachelle Vartanian, founder of the Living and Learning Center – a nonprofit organization that works to enhance the lives of people with disabilities through therapeutic, social, work-based, and community engagement. Rachelle graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor's Degree in teaching for the emotionally impaired and right out of college, she worked at a center for adjudicated youth. Rachelle was so passionate about that work, that she ended up working in that field for over 10 years. At the same time, Rachelle went back to school and obtained a Master's Degree in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Personality and Development because she wanted to better understand why so many of her students chose to behave in self-destructive manners. It was during this same time that Rachelle began seeing signs of autism in her youngest son. When he was officially diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, she made the decision to go back to school to get a second Master's Degree in Autism Spectrum Disorders and she simultaneously began teaching high school special education. Rachelle had been looking for resources and social skills groups that would benefit her son and through her own experience and seeing the lack of support and resources – she decided to start her own local family group. Every Sunday, Rachelle facilitated a group of like-minded individuals that they called “Weamara” (the initials of the original social skills group members) and that went on for almost two years. After those two years, Rachelle recognized there was a greater need and she had a vision for what she could do to be the change she wanted to see in the world. Rachelle  took a leap of faith and quit her job after being a special education teacher for 20 years, she sold her family home, drew money from her retirement, and downsized her life – and that's what started the Living and Learning Center.   The Living and Learning Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, whose mission is to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. Through therapeutic, social, work-based, and community engagement, the Living and Learning Center seeks to support, enrich, inspire, and embolden their participants and their families so they can achieve their goals and thrive. The Living and Learning Center's vision is to become the nation's model in supporting the highest quality of life for people with disabilities and their families. In this episode, you'll hear:  Rachelle's inspiring life story; About Rachelle's journey with her son who has Asperger's Syndrome; How Rachelle got the idea to start the Living and Learning Center and how it has grown and evolved throughout the years; The story of how Rachelle took a leap of faith, quit her job, sold her house, and started the Living and Learning Center; About the incredible work that the Living and Learning Center does to support individuals with disabilities and differences and their families; And so much more.   The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, YouTube, and everywhere you listen to podcasts.  For more information on Rachelle and the Living and Learning Center, please visit: www.1GirlRevolution.com/RachelleVartanian For more information about 1 Girl Revolution, please visit: www.1GirlRevolution.com

Marriages that weather the storms of life are a rarity. When we throw in the demands of caring for a child with special needs, most marriages just don't make it.  We know as parents we need to invest in our spouse, but how do we do that when so much of our attention is devoted to our children with special needs? In Episode 70, we interviewed Todd and Kristin Evans on how they cultivate a healthy marriage.    Dr. Todd and Kristin Evans are award-winning authors, speakers, and parents of two children with complex needs.  Their new book, How to Build a Thriving Marriage as You Care for Children with Disabilities will release in May 2024 by Baker Books.

Since joining The Salvation Army, Community and Family Services Coordinator, Ryan Daw, has been the driving force behind a few new programs in Fort Frances, Ontario. One of his most successful initiatives has been a cooking class for clients experiencing disabilities. Ryan leads the program. And he credits his previous experience of working in homeless shelters for giving him the skills to cook and now to be able to teach this skill to others. The lessons take place at Front Street Manor, a location that offers transitional housing run by Riverside Health. They were excited to let The Salvation Army use their premises for this great initiative. The program runs twice a month, and it averages between 10 to 12 clients in each session.   After each session, clients not only leave with a new skill but also with some extra ingredients to put their skills to the test at home.

The debate about whether mental health law should be abolished or reformed is one that is highly charged and to which there are no easy solutions. In Mental Health Law: Abolish Or Reform? (Oxford UP, 2021), Dr Kay Wilson does not shy away from these controversial debates. Examining the work that dignity can do, she makes the case for an holistic interpretation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In thinking about mental health reform, she provides a core framework which may guide support and intervention in a way that compels respect for the dignity of the person. This book makes an important contribution to the literature. Its nuanced approach and fearlessness in delving into the hard issues should be required reading for policy makers, lawyers and mental health practitioners.   Dr Kay Wilson is a postdoctoral fellow at the convenor of The Disability Law Network at Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne. She is also a co-editor of The Future of Mental Health, Disability and Criminal Law, (Routledge, 2023).  Jane Richards is a Lecturer in Law at York Law School, UK. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes back Phillip Simon to the podcast. Phillip was last on the podcast Season 5, Episodes 17 and 18. Phillip is a Veteran,  serving his country in both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army. Phillip served during OEF & OIF and for his efforts he received a Bronze Star. However, veteran Phillip Simon also has sustained injuries from those efforts that have left him permanently disabled and suffering with PTSD, 100%. PHILLIP DOES NOT HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD.     Judge Sharon L. Kalemkiarian is nicknamed, "The Closer." So if your case is running a lengthy amount of time, even if she is out of her jurisdiction, she flat out doesn't care. She doesn't care about a DVRO order that doesn't exist, among other things. Finally, she clarified her orders - that she didn't care either way by the VA Disability that isn't Community Property. Her fraud actions forced Phillip into bankruptcy,  violated the Code of Judicial Ethics and has failed to observe Phillip's Due Process Rights.     Evidence Phillip is seeking within the family law case has been denied to him per his public records request because of the current federal lawsuit pending, officially making the SDCSC an adversary against Phillip. The SDCSC (trial judges) refuses to acknowledge any awareness of the pending federal case and continues to exact revenge and punishment against Phillip while the federal case is still pending. An immediate injunction is needed because the SDCSC (Family Law Division) has ruled against a long standing federally protected statute and now rules Phillip's DISABILITIES are NOW considered COMMUNITY PROPERTY. The SDCSC is using this time to continue to violate Phillip's CIVIL RIGHTS in hopes to take his house away (leaving the veteran BANKRUPT AND HOMELESS) before the USDC, SDC responds to the pending FRAUD UPON the COURT CASE.To Reach Phillip Simon: phillipsimon56@gmail.comThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

Why does my partner make me feel invisible? What exactly is intimacy anorexia? What to Do if You Are Not Feeling Heard in a Relationship? Not feeling heard in a relationship – What are the causes? Agree or Disagree? Invisibility, on the other hand, refers to feeling unnoticed, overlooked, or undervalued within your marriage/relationship. It can manifest in various ways, such as your opinions and needs being disregarded, or a lack of acknowledgment or appreciation for your contributions. When you feel invisible, it can erode your sense of self-worth and lead to a diminished sense of importance in the relationship. Agree or disagree? It may stem from a lack of emotional intimacy or a sense of not being understood or heard. This can lead to a profound sense of isolation, as if you're navigating the ups and downs of life on your own, despite being in a committed relationship. True or false? Ultimately, not feeling heard in a relationship is the result of your partner simply not listening, or appearing to not listen to you, when you share your feelings or concerns. Agree or Disagree? Listening to your partner requires being present in a relationship, and there are several reasons that can explain why your partner doesn't seem to listen: 1. Have you considered the possibility that your partner may have their own unresolved emotional issues that prevent them from fully engaging in the relationship and truly hearing you? 2. Could it be that your partner lacks the necessary communication skills to effectively listen and understand your perspective? 3. Is it possible that your partner is preoccupied with their own thoughts, worries, or concerns, making it difficult for them to fully focus on you and your needs? 4. Have you explored the idea that your partner may have a fear of intimacy or vulnerability, which causes them to shut down and not fully engage in conversations? 5. Could it be that your partner has developed a defensive mechanism to protect themselves from emotional pain, leading them to dismiss or ignore your feelings? 6. Have you considered the impact of past experiences on your partner's ability to listen and be present in the relationship? Could they have unresolved trauma or attachment issues that affect their ability to connect with you? 7. Is it possible that your partner has developed unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as avoidance or withdrawal, which prevent them from actively listening and engaging in meaningful conversations? 8. Have you explored the role of power dynamics in your relationship? Is there a possibility that your partner's lack of listening stems from a desire to maintain control or dominance? 9. Could it be that your partner has different communication styles or preferences, and they may not fully understand the importance of active listening in a relationship? 10. Have you considered the possibility that your partner may have a different perception of what it means to be heard in a relationship? Are their expectations and needs different from yours?
