Podcasts about people with disabilities

Yet people with disabilities control half a trillion dollars in spending money.We'll look at four powerful campaigns that not only feature people with disabilities, but these commercials are disrupting the public's negative perceptions of the disabled.

People with disabilities are created in the image of God, imbued with the same intrinsic value and bestowed the unalienable rights declared in our  nation's founding document. However, the history of disability policy and social norms have not always mirrored this foundational truth. Drawing from her experience, surviving a life threatening and rare spinal cord tumor that left her as a quadriplegic and her decades working on Capitol Hill, Rachel Barkley director of the National Center for Public Policy Research's Able Americans program, first discussed what the Bible says about people with disabilities, then in light of this, how we should approach disability policy.Support the show

Medicaid supporters rallied in Santee Wednesday as part of a week of protests targeting California Republican congress members. Plus, federal immigration officials are considering bringing controversial, life-threatening buoys to California. And, how Project 2025 is disrupting disease research at UCSD.

A group home for people with disabilities located in Uruma City has been found to be operating without meeting required standards and allegedly overcharging for service benefits. The prefectural government has announced that it will revoke the facility's designation as a disability welfare service provider. According to the prefecture, from the time the facility was designated as a disability welfare service provider in August two years ago until an audit conducted in November last year, the home had delegated operations to another organization, with the official manager failing to carry out oversight duties. Furthermore, it failed to create individualized support plans for users, among other violations of operational standards. Episode Notes: ‘Okinawa Group Home for People with Disabilities Suspected of Overcharging without Meeting Standards has Designation Revoked': https://barrierfreejapan.com/2025/04/24/okinawa-group-home-for-people-with-disabilities-suspected-of-overcharging-without-meeting-standards-has-designation-revoked/

What happens when society builds systems that leave people with disabilities isolated, unemployed, and without essential services? Nick Comstock has lived that reality—and he's speaking up about it.Nick joins us to share his journey living with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a condition that's left him wheelchair-dependent with spasticity and dystonia. With remarkable candor and humor, he opens up about spending "a lot of time in my bedroom alone with a TV, phone and computer" after high school when services disappeared. This "services cliff" affects countless young adults with disabilities who suddenly lose their support systems and social connections.Only 22% of people with disabilities were employed in 2023, despite this being the highest rate since data collection began in 2008. Nick himself has been declared "unemployable" by authorities in multiple counties solely because of his disability. Yet he's defied these limitations by creating "Nick Speaks," a successful podcast dedicated to disability issues that's approaching 30 episodes.Transportation emerges as a critical barrier throughout our conversation. As Nick explains, needing to schedule rides 30 days in advance versus 30 minutes makes spontaneous outings, job opportunities, and dating nearly impossible. He challenges listeners to reconsider how we structure inclusion, noting that special programs sometimes unintentionally create bubbles rather than bridges.Nick leaves us with a powerful message for organizations and employers: people with disabilities "love passionately" and "want to work harder and contribute to their community." His story reminds us that beyond policies and programs are human beings seeking the same connections and purpose we all desire.

The percentage of people diagnosed with autism has more than quadrupled over two decades. Still, explicit training for law enforcement to respond to this population and people with other developmental or intellectual disabilities is rare.

The One Seattle Comprehensive Plan is working its way through city council. It dictates how the city will grow over the next twenty years, including where density is allowed. While the details are still being worked out, the comprehensive plan has a new type of zoning: Neighborhood Centers. This part of the plan could affect up to 30 neighborhoods in Seattle – including places like Montlake, Madrona and Queen Anne – and has met with vocal opposition from many residents. But there is one constituency that sees these neighborhood centers, and more density in general, as a lifeline: people with disabilities.

PEG Talks With Devon Wieters | The hidden challenges of people with disabilities Devon is a college graduate writer, and podcaster who just happens to have cerebral palsy. She is passionate about creating a better world for all! She is also fiercely advocating for the passage of the SSI Restoration Act, which would eliminate the social Security/Medicaid “marriage penalty” and the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, which would raise thee salary and asset limits for Social Security and Medicaid. These changes would allow people with disabilities to work and marry without losing vital disability benefits. She is also advocating for a man named Crosley Green to be released from prison, who she believes was wrongfully convicted of murder in Florida in 1990. Devon is also a super fan of the TV show Survivor and loves analyzing the strategy of the game with the fan community. In fact, she learned interview techniques from watching host Jeff Probst!
