New

Description

This week, we feature Rob Wudlick, an industrial engineer and dedicated advocate for spinal cord injury research. Rob joins Katrina Simons to share the frustrating reality of air travel for wheelchair users, from the nightmare of having a custom chair mangled by an airline to the constant battle for better accessibility standards. It’s a candid look at how the system is failing the disability community and what needs to change to ensure everyone can travel with dignity.

Boldly Challenging Ableism is both a radio broadcast and a podcast.
