Order it at https://www.loisstrachan.com/shop/#acc-content In this episode, Lois chats with Tarryn Tomlinson from LiveAble Universal Access Consultants, an organisation that specialises in universal access solutions for the hospitality industry. The conversation focuses on the impact that smart city initiatives could have on the inhabitants of a city, including those with disabilities. We discuss the difference between smart and traditional city planning and design, how to ensure that people with disabilities are not left behind when it comes to the design, implementation and measurement of smart initiatives, and how to ensure that people who are not able or willing to engage with technology are not marginalised. We also consider the first steps that a city like that in which both Tarryn and I live may need to take to start incorporating smart technology into the planning and design process.

Since this was the first time I had heard of blind tennis, we dig a little deeper into how the sport is played, and Guillaume shares a little of the history of the game. We also talk about his time living in Indonesia and his hope to found a travel agency focused on encouraging both disabled and non-disabled French people to visit the country he came to love.

During the conversation, Katey talks about the relief of receiving a diagnosis of dyslexia at the age of 10 years of age, because it helped her to understand her way of doing things. She acknowledges the willingness of her education system to accommodate her and some of the techniques she uses to accomplish the many diverse and creative tasks she is involved with. Katey emphasises the importance of using your strengths to help determine your career, rather than constantly trying to work on areas that cause you to struggle. Katey chats about her podcast, the Different Ability Podcast, as well as her forthcoming book, Embracing Your Different Ability: Together We Advocate: Disability Stories Through the Eyes of a Child and Parent. Finally, Katey speaks of her preference for the term different ability, as opposed to disability and explains why she feels the way she does.

In today's episode, Lois speaks with Adrijana Prokopenko, who lives in North Macedonia and works as a teacher for blind children. Adrijana explains the training she received as an educator and outlines some of the logistical challenges she faces as a woman with a disability in North Macedonia. As a developing country, North Macedonia faces challenges of lack of resources, poor levels of social inclusion of those with disabilities, and the difficulty of accessing assistive technology. Adrijana also tells us a little of the process she uses as a blind educator to teach English to young learners from the blind and partially blind community.
