Tokyo police have arrested four people on suspicion of robbing and abusing a man in his 40s with a mild intellectual disability after forcing him to drink large amounts of whisky, the Metropolitan Police Department said Sept. 26. The suspects — a 22-year-old company worker from Shizuoka Prefecture, a 24-year-old woman from Tokyo, a 21-year-old university student from Hokkaido, and a 19-year-old male restaurant worker — allegedly met the victim through social media and conspired to exploit his condition. Police said the four made the man drink over 700 milliliters of whisky in Tokyo's Nakano Ward in June, stole his smartphone and used about 100,000 yen in electronic money. They also filmed the incident, which included acts of sexual humiliation, and later abandoned the victim near his home and again in Shizuoka Prefecture. All four have admitted to the allegations, according to the police.

What happens when a fit, ex-military CEO wakes up unable to speak? In this conversation, Cathy Love is joined by Michael Maher, stroke survivor and Founding Director of The Disabled CEO, to unpack the pinnacle moment that changed everything on 22 July 2022 — and the mindset, tactics, and networks that powered his recovery. Michael shares the realities of rehab built for older cohorts, the challenge of an “invisible” disability, and why peer connection with other A-type professionals was pivotal. He also explains how The Disabled CEO now raises awareness, shares practical pathways (from hospital outpatient rehab to insurance wins), and helps workplaces support senior staff returning after stroke. Topics covered on stroke recovery, leadership, advocacy, resilience: Rehab fit (not age) – Why standard models miss younger, high-functioning survivors and how peer groups change outcomes. Invisible disability – Aphasia, service dogs, swearing reflexes, and the energy cost of not being believed. From setback to platform – How The Disabled CEO shares “nuggets” (insurance, referral pathways) and builds C-suite-level support. Redefining leadership – Public speaking after stroke, board roles, fundraising, and using lived experience for systemic change.

Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions.

We're joined by two passionate disability inclusion coordinators from Milwaukee's Jewish Community Center who share their mission of creating meaningful opportunities for adults with disabilities. With over 150 programs annually, they're focused on what truly matters: combating isolation and ensuring people with disabilities have authentic life experiences and community connections.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when we explore the hierarchy of accessibility needs. Should there be an "extreme handicap" designation for those with severe mobility limitations? While acknowledging the frustration of seeing accessibility features misused, our guests remind us about the danger of making assumptions when "we don't know everybody's story." This tension between advocating for those with significant needs while respecting invisible disabilities highlights the complexity of creating truly inclusive spaces.We also explore Milwaukee's accessibility landscape, from retrofitted historic buildings to the new downtown tram called "the Hop" that's revolutionizing mobility. What emerges is a powerful reminder that disability advocacy isn't just about physical access—it's about belonging. As someone paralyzed from the neck down and breathing through a machine, I've learned that breaking through walls means refusing to let obstacles define your path. Whether you're part of the disability community or an ally, this episode will challenge you to see accessibility in a new light.Subscribe now and join our growing community of listeners who believe in living life to the max, regardless of the barriers we face.

You can learn a lot from the movies-about sex and relationships, about business, about history. Sure, there's a fair amount of fantasy, wish fulfillment, and glorious hair to exaggerate everything, but for better or for worse, films remain one of the most important ways that viewers around the world learn about other people and cultures.

Hello and welcome to Season Eight debut of YXE Underground. I'm Eric Anderson and welcome to the University of Saskatchewan's Physical Activity for Active Living, or PAAL, program.It's a Wednesday night in late August. I'm in the gymnasium room of the Physical Activity Complex on the UofS campus. There are children and teenagers running and jumping on different obstacles set up throughout the space, and they're joined by high school and university student volunteers who are helping them make the most of their time tonight.PAAL is a program for individuals of all ages who are experiencing physical and or intellectual disabilities. Its mission is to provide quality physical activity focusing on fun, skill development and social interaction.On this night, the child/teen PAAL program is wrapping up its summer session for youth ages 5 to 18. Half of the class is here in the gymnasium while the other half is downstairs in the pool…which we will visit later on. It's hard to articulate just how much positivity and joy are taking place in these two spaces, but I hope by the end of the episode, you will be able to feel just how impactful PAAL is for the participants, the student volunteers, and the parents of the children. You can listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the YXE Underground website, and I am excited to say that you can now listen to the podcast on YouTube!

This episode was first shared in 2024, and here's what I had to say: I know there's always the risk with this show of completely romanticising queer spaces as these glistening oasis' of tolerance and acceptance.But, that's really not the case - despite how wonderful and freeing they can be, they can also be a bit shitty and exclusionary. And I was reminded of that this week when I sat down to talk to talk to Andrew Gurza, who is a disability awareness consultant and activist, as well as being the host of the Disability After Dark podcast. We caught up to discuss The Edge, which was a gay bar in Ottawa, Canada, and held so much promise for Andrew but pretty much failed to deliver. But, that's not to say that this is a totally depressing episode. That Andrew is one horny guy, and he seems to have mastered the art of turning every conversation into one about blow jobs, so penises and giggling come up a lot, as well as the despair we both feel about mainstream gay male culture! So, in other words - something for everyone (?)!

Betsy Wurzel's guest today is Dr. Marc Sapir, author of I'll Fly Away: Stories of Disabled Elders. In this inspiring interview, Dr. Sapir shares why he gave his book the title I'll Fly Away, drawn from the 1929 song about freedom. He explains how the theme of freedom connects deeply with the lives of elderly and disabled individuals—social beings who deserve respect, autonomy, and dignity.During their conversation, Betsy and Dr. Sapir explored the PACE model program for elderly and disabled individuals, which recognizes them as cultural beings who should be supported in living meaningful lives. They discussed how music plays a vital role in bringing joy, connection, and healing, and why being socially active is essential for well-being.Another important topic they covered was end-of-life care. Dr. Sapir stressed how crucial it is to make your wishes known through a medical directive, ensuring that family or friends honor those decisions—even if they might disagree. He emphasized that, for many people, quality of life matters more than quantity.Dr. Sapir also shared stories of individuals featured in I'll Fly Away: Stories of Disabled Elders, reflecting on the lessons he has learned from his experiences. He spoke about how aging often brings physical and mental challenges, but reminded us that we must always treat the elderly with respect and dignity.The interview also touched on how healthcare systems can better support the aging population by recognizing their unique needs and providing programs that nurture independence and self-worth. About Dr. Marc SapirDr. Marc Sapir is a retired primary care, geriatric, and public health physician. He is also an essayist, playwright, fiction writer, poet, musician, and political activist. Dr. Sapir was the first Medical Director of the Center for Elders' Independence, serving disabled elders for nine years. He also previously worked with the United Farm Workers and was a panel member of the Mad as Hell Doctors for Single Payer Health Care.A graduate of Brandeis University and Stanford Medical School, Dr. Sapir also holds a Master's Degree in Public Health Epidemiology from the University of California, Berkeley.Betsy's RecommendationBetsy Wurzel highly recommends I'll Fly Away: Stories of Disabled Elders. She believes it should be read by everyone, especially those working with disabled and elderly populations, as it provides invaluable insight into respect, care, and dignity.Visit Dr. Sapir's website: http://marcsapir.netExplore the National PACE Association programs: https://www.npaonline.org/Email Dr. Sapir: marcsapir@gmail.comPurchase the book on Bookshop.org: Buy Here
