John Fela is an educator, author, and passionate advocate who calls himself the Swiss army knife of disability advocacy. As the father of a non-verbal son with autism, John brings a deeply personal and professional perspective to his work bridging faith-based and secular communities around disability awareness and inclusion. In this episode, John shares his journey from confusion and loss in the early days of his son's diagnosis to building a life of purpose, community, and ultimately, faith. He opens up about the heartbreaking decision to place his son in residential care, the power of finding genuine support systems, and what led him to Jesus during his darkest season.   John's conversation goes far beyond personal narrative. He challenges churches and faith communities to examine their theology around disability and move from mere inclusion to true acceptance and co-laboring. With only 1 in 10 churches in the United States offering any form of support for people with disabilities, John's insights about what families truly need, and how communities can provide it, are both convicting and hopeful. Whether you're a parent navigating disability, a church leader looking to expand your welcome, or simply someone wanting to understand this often-misunderstood community, this episode will shift your perspective and challenge you to see people, not just disabilities.

Interviewee: Erick Hung, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Associate Dean for Students, University of California San Francisco School of Medicine Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education Description: In this episode of Stories Behind the Science, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Erick Hung (UCSF) about his paper, “Promoting Disability Inclusion Through an Expanded Conceptual Framework of the Learning Environment,” part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Their conversation explores how a single student story at UCSF sparked a full-scale rethinking of what it means to create an equitable learning environment. Dr. Hung walks us through the journey—from a campus task force to a conceptual framework that now guides systemic change nationwide. Together, they unpack the six domains of the learning environment, including a new and critical addition: the societal layer, which recognizes how broader cultural forces shape belonging, access, and success. The discussion touches on mentorship, student advocacy, technical standards reform, and what it means to move beyond compliance toward culture change. Dr. Hung also reflects on humility in leadership, the importance of systems thinking, and how conceptual frameworks become living roadmaps for equity. Listeners will come away with practical takeaways for schools and leaders—build peer networks, re-evaluate policies through an inclusion lens, and invite students into the co-creation of change.

Your co-hosts Erin & Lily bring another “Just Between Us” conversation to Everything You Know About Disability Is Wrong. This time, they're diving into disability language: why euphemisms like “differently abled” miss the mark, how identity-first vs. person-first language is used, and why words matter but shouldn't overshadow the bigger fights for access, benefits, and equity.They share stories from their own journeys—how language has shaped their identities, how it can affirm or erase, and why offering grace and education is often the most powerful tool. With humor, honesty, and a few reframes, Erin and Lily show how shared vocabulary can build connection and strengthen advocacy.Timestamps00:38 Just Between Us: why language matters01:40 Creating a disability language guide for Easterseals02:40 Why euphemisms like “differently abled” don't work03:09 Identity-first vs. person-first explained04:25 The importance of respecting personal preference05:41 Autistic identity and self-definition07:12 Erin's shift from person-first to identity-first08:55 Why treatment matters more than terminology10:15 Writing and marketing with respectful languageConnect with Lily NewtonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lily-newton-3b0b5b229Website: https://www.easterseals.com/Connect with Erin HawleyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinhawley2Website: https://www.easterseals.com/

In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "From Canes to Tech: Proving Disability with Assistive Devices."Most people assume that using a cane, walker, or wheelchair automatically proves disability - but in ERISA claims, it's rarely that simple. Insurance carriers don't approve benefits just because you use an assistive device; they want to see why you need it, how it limits your daily function, and whether your medical records tell a consistent story. In this episode of Winning Isn't Easy, disability law expert Nancy L. Cavey breaks down how assistive devices (like canes, braces, wheelchairs, and electric carts) can strengthen your Long-Term Disability claim when documented correctly. We'll explore how to connect your device use to your medical conditions, what kind of documentation insurers actually find persuasive, and the common mistakes that can make even legitimate claims fall apart. What if your doctor prescribed a wheelchair, but the insurer still denies your claim? Does using a cane automatically mean you can't perform sedentary work? How can you prove that your device isn't just optional, but essential to your functioning? Nancy explains how to build the evidence trail insurers can't ignore - linking your diagnosis, limitations, and assistive device into a clear, credible narrative. If you rely on an assistive device or wonder how it affects your eligibility for Long-Term Disability benefits, this episode will give you the clarity, strategy, and confidence to make your records work for you. Because in disability law, the story your paperwork tells can make all the difference - and Winning Isn't Easy.In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:One - How Carriers View Assistive DevicesTwo - Proving Medical NecessityThree - How Specific Devices Affect Disability ClaimsWhether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey.

Beyond Coping: Radical Healing in a World Not Built for Us – An Interview with José Rosario Curt and Katie chat with José Rosario about radical healing, disability, cultural trauma, and intersectionality. José shares his story as a scholar, practitioner, and activist, and how his lived experience as a disabled person of color who is also queer informs both his clinical work and research. He discusses how healing must move beyond coping, the importance of community engagement, and how therapists can better support clients with marginalized identities. About Our Guest: José Rosario Born to young Puerto Rican parents, José Rosario developed Cerebral Palsy as a premature baby. His family's journey towards equity deeply impacted his mental health. Currently nearing his PhD in Clinical Psychology, his research focuses on cultural trauma in intersectional communities. He is an Interdisciplinary Minority Fellow for the American Psychological Association, member of the Congressional Diversity and Equality Advisory Board for Congressman James Langevin, and member of the Rhode Island Attorney General Community Advisory Board. He has been honored with the Chris Martin Humanitarian Award and the Victoria Lederberg Award for Excellence in Psychology. Key Takeaways for Therapists Radical healing means moving beyond coping to systemic change and community-based healing. Disability, race, and queerness intersect in ways that compound stigma and systemic barriers. Community is both a source of hope and a vital element of healing. Therapists must step outside the therapy room and engage genuinely with the communities they serve.

In September, 1973, President Richard Nixon signed the Rehabilitation Act into law. While much of the Act focused on vocational training and services, one section—Section 504—quietly broke new ground. It became the first U.S. civil rights law to prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities in federally funded programs. In this week's episode of Walk and Roll Live – This Week in Disability History, we explore the origins of the Rehabilitation Act, the hard-fought battle to implement its protections, and how Section 504 laid the foundation for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Bassel shares the personal experiences that shaped his questions, the multi-institutional data that sharpened the answers, and the practical moves any school can make now: screen routinely, get cost-of-living estimates right, normalize help-seeking, and invest in evidence-based campus supports. Along the way, we talk flourishing (not just “fixing”), student-led research networks, and why transparency beats stigma every time. Whether you're a dean, DRP, faculty member, or student, this conversation offers a humane roadmap from surviving to thriving. Links to the open-access article, and related tools are in the show notes.

Artificial intelligence has cemented itself as the latest world-altering technology. It follows the same lineage as electricity, the television, the internet — the list goes on. Depending on who you talk to, AI is the greatest thing ever or the thing that will destroy the world, with lots of room in the middle for discussion and experimentation. But within the bigger AI fascination, there's a smaller yet critical conversation about how this technology might help or harm people who learn and think differently. That's why we brought in Dr. Amy Gaeta for this week's “Hyperfocus.” She's an AI ethicist and researcher who also has autism, giving her a unique insight that she shares on our latest episode. For more on this topicAmy's websiteWhat is assistive technology?6 ways AI can help you manage ADHD symptomsHow software and apps can help with math challengesUnderstood AssistantTimestamps(03:40) AI in the workplace(10:16) Disability justice and technology(13:45) AI's built-in bias against disability (17:15) How to find helpful, safe AI uses(21:08) Chatbot therapy (25:14) What does the future hold for AI and neurodivergence? For a transcript and more resources, visit the Hyperfocus page on Understood.org.
