In this new episode of Weekend Conversations, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan dig into the recent headline that 40% of Stanford students receive academic accommodations for a disability. Robert and Mick delve into how that data compares to other universities, why Stanford's accommodations are out of step with similar universities, and what all this says about parenting, academic culture, and the struggle to adapt to the real world after graduation.

This episode deals with the issue of suicide, and as such it might be triggering or upsetting. If you or someone you know needs support, there are people trained to listen and to offer the support you may need. We've included some support links in the notes for this episode.As governments cut public services and offer only meagre support for those living with disabilities, assisted death risks becoming a policy substitute for care and dignity.Scholar Megan Linton argues that Canada's expansion of medically-assisted dying reflects a deeper neoliberal logic—one that narrows how we imagine disability, chronic illness, and the possibilities of a more just future.The Breach Show is our podcast featuring sharp analysis on politics and social movements in Canada.

The family policing system considers parents with mental health issues and other disabilities to be an inherent threat to their children. We reject that premise. Because of ableism, the legacy of eugenics, and the violence of poverty, disabled parents face a high risk of separation by the family policing system. In this episode, Dr. Robyn Powell discusses how the child welfare system weaponizes the idea of “predictive neglect” to discriminate against parents with disabilities and further enshrine stigma around mental health. How can we build a future where disabled families are supported through care, community, and trust—not surveillance and punishment? Reclaiming Safety is upEND's exploration of frequently asked questions about family policing abolition. This discussion about disability justice is an accompaniment to the essay Reclaiming Safety for Children of Parents with Disabilities by Charisa Smith. About Our Guest: Dr. Robyn Powell is an Assistant Professor of Law at Stetson University College of Law and a Senior Research Associate at the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy at Brandeis University. Her work focuses on disability law, reproductive justice, family regulation, and constitutional law, with a special emphasis on the rights of disabled parents and the abolition of the family policing system.She is the principal author of the National Council on Disability's landmark report Rocking the Cradle, Ensuring the Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children, and her scholarship—featured in leading law reviews and interdisciplinary journals—examines how law and policy continue to reinforce ableism and the legacy of eugenics.Episode Notes: Support the work of upEND: upendmovement.org/donateEpisode Transcript: upendmovement.org/podcast/episode301/ Read Reclaiming Safety: upendmovement.org/safety Dr. Powell recommends people learn more about disability justice through Sins Invalid and the Disability Visibility Project.Connect with Dr. Powell at Stetson Law.Credits: Hosted by Josie Pickens and Jaison OliverProduced by Sydnie MaresMixed by Imani Crosby

Disabled people are waiting up to 30 weeks for a decision on whether they'll get a grant to support them at work and wait times are getting longer. We hear from three people who have been affected: Danielle Verity, a visually impaired NHS psychologist has had her grant reduced causing her career stress and worsening mental health. And George Baker is waiting for a new agreement which means he presently has no money and his support worker, Lauren, is kindly, unsustainably, working for free with the hope it will be sorted out soon.One of the biggest challenges for neurodivergent people is the impact of everyday noises like air conditioning or chatter from people on mobile phones. Emma speaks to autistic journalist Keira Edwards about her new podcast It's So Loud In Here, coming soon to BBC Sounds.Also, neurodivergent journalist, Hayley Clarke, joins Emma to talk about pre-loved clothes selling websites and how one mum is calling for a filtered category so you can find accessible or adapted clothes easily.Presented by Emma Tracey Sound mixed by Dave O'Neill Produced by Emma Tracey and Alex Collins Series producer is Beth Rose Editor is Damon Rose

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Jonny shares what it's really like to wake up paralysed at 28 after a sudden stroke and how losing his body, career, and future plans forced him to rebuild his life from the ground up. He opens up about the shock of disability, the uncertainty of recovery, and the emotional toll of watching the life you expected disappear overnight. Alongside this, Jonny speaks candidly about the mental health battles that followed his physical recovery, including depression, identity loss, and learning how to live in a body that no longer worked the way it once did. He reflects on discipline, endurance, and the mindset shift that helped him move from survival to purpose, ultimately becoming the first disabled person to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole. This episode explores resilience, trauma, identity, and what it truly means to rebuild when everything familiar is gone. If you've experienced illness, injury, life-altering change, or are navigating grief for the person you used to be, this conversation will resonate deeply.

Why are disabled individuals still excluded from leadership?In this episode of The Inclusive Growth Show, Toby Mildon speaks with Pravjoth Gill, a disability advocate and recent HR graduate, whose dissertation explores the misrepresentation of disabled people in leadership roles – and what inclusive HR practices can do to change this.Pravjoth shares how her lived experience and intersectional identity shaped her research, what the biggest blockers to disabled leadership are, and how internalised ableism and outdated workplace systems continue to hold talent back.Key takeaways:Why disabled leaders are often seen as ‘inspirational' – and why that's problematic.The real barriers beyond bias: broken systems, lack of adjustments, and inaccessible leadership pipelines.What HR can do now: co-creating inclusive training with disabled voices.The role of voluntary sectors and what others can learn.What the workplace could look like in 10 years if we get inclusion right.Guest Highlight: Pravjoth Gill, Associate at CIPD

Although she's been a theater actress for most of her life, Jenna Bainbridge never envisioned herself performing on the grandest of stages -- Broadway. The issue wasn't one of talent or confidence, but rather, accessibility. Partially paralyzed as a child, Bainbridge didn't think she'd find the accommodations necessary for her to live and work in New York. However she's now performing on Broadway in the long-running hit, Wicked.

This week on the podcast we examine what a rise in UK university applicants really tells us about the future demand for higher education.With UCAS reporting a 4.8 per cent increase in applications at the January deadline, driven largely by a demographic peak in 18-year-olds, we explore whether this represents a genuine resurgence in demand or a temporary population effect.Plus we discuss new evidence on disabled students' experiences in higher education, including concerns that pandemic-era accessibility is being rolled back, and the implications of the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill — from pressure on NHS training places to uncertainty for students studying medicine abroad through UK-linked programmes.And Jim Dickinson is is in Canada with Wonkhe's Editor Debbie McVitty taking to Canadian HE expert Alex Usher.With Mark Leach, Editor-in-Chief, Wonkhe, Alex Stanley, Vice President for Higher Education at the National Union of Students, Dani Payne, Head of Education and Social Mobility at the Social Market Foundation, David Kernohan, Deputy Editor at Wonkhe and presented by Mark Leach, Editor-in-Chief, Wonkhe.

42 year old Daragh MacLoughlin from Galway crossed the finishing line in Antigua earlier this morning, helping to raise awareness for the charities Debra Ireland and Irish Dogs for the Disabled. He spoke to our reporter Sally-Ann Barrett.

Canines for Disabled KidsA working dog can change a life, but only when the match is right. From the floor of the Abilities Expo in Dallas, we sit down with Kristin Hartness, a veteran service dog user and leader at Canines for Disabled Kids, to unpack how carefully trained dogs restore independence, safety, and joy for both adults and children. Kristin shares how user voices have reshaped the service dog industry—expanding task training, raising standards, and centering real-world needs over assumptions.We get practical about what actually makes a great partnership: task lists designed around daily life, temperament and drive that fit your routines, and the reality of washout rates that influence whether a dog should be purpose-bred or rescued. Kristin explains why programs typically train first and match later, how alerts can be barks or button presses depending on environment, and why lifestyle details—travel, public access, cuddly vs high-drive—matter as much as skill. Her stories illuminate the stakes, from a stylus retrieval that keeps a quadriplegic professional communicating, to seizure-alert dogs that give kids safe access to the playground without sidelining them from friends.We also talk about the emotional core of this work: losing a partner dog, taking time to grieve, and still choosing to honor their legacy by continuing to live fully with the next partner. It's a grounded, humane look at assistive technology that happens to have four legs and a heartbeat. If you're considering a service dog or advising someone who is, you'll find clear guidance on training pathways, matching criteria, and how to advocate for the support you need.Subscribe to hear more human-centered conversations about accessibility, assistive tech, and the people driving change. If this resonated, share it with someone who needs these insights, and leave a review to help others find the show.

L.A. County Public Defender Noah Cox noticed the disturbing trend. Many of his clients seemed to struggle answering even the most basic questions about the crimes they'd been charged with, questions like, “Where were you that day?” It seemed, Cox said, “like they were having troubles related to some sort of intellectual ability.” But when he dug into their records, Cox could see that while many had committed serious crimes, most had never been identified as disabled or offered resources to help with cognitive impairments. So Cox set about to change that. He helped create a new unit in the Los Angeles Public Defender's Office dedicated to representing people with cognitive disorders.Today on The Sunday Story a look at the possibilities and challenges of helping those with cognitive impairments stay out of prison and get the resources they need to live productive lives.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Are we heading to a time where everybody has a disability? Or, if you don't have one, you're pretty stupid? The boys drink and review Trail of Crumbs gingerbread stout from Seven Locks Brewing, then discuss the Americans with Disabilities Act and how many college students are now considered disabled. It's impossible to accommodate every disability, so there will always be some fuzziness in how far the ADA is supposed to go, but ... it seems to have gone too far, especially with accommodations for mental health. COVID seems to have accelerated crazy claims under the ADA. People got accustomed to working from home, and when they were told to go back to the office, they suddenly needed a lot of "accommodations." It's even worse in academia. Students come up every kind of "disability" to get extra time on tests and other accommodations. Sometimes it's something as silly as being anxious. 40 percent of the students at Stanford are considered disabled. Is that even possible? Is "test anxiety" a disability?

Briefing the President one day, forgetting how to cook bacon the next. What happens when a high-achieving powerhouse (Harvard grad, Wall Street alum, and Obama White House staffer) suddenly loses her most prized asset: her mind? Marisa Renee Lee joins the boys to get brutally honest about her "dumpster fire" journey with Long COVID. From the visceral pain of biting through a night guard in her sleep to the terrifying moment her larynx was 70% blocked while on a "restorative" trip to Greece, Marisa's story is a raw look at identity, ego death, and the absolute chaos of a body in revolt. We dive into the controversial intersection of vaccine injury and infection, the skepticism Black women face in the U.S. healthcare system, and the three questions that forced her to reframe her life as "currently disabled".For all things Marisa - https://www.marisareneelee.com/aboutYou can watch this entire episode over on YouTube.Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord.
