Something To Think About – Are We Given Equitable Opportunities?

By Spinal Cord Injuries Australia

This is Have The Nerve Shorts – the short episodes between the long ones where we talk about things From The Internet, you can Get To Know Your Body and there might be even Something To Think About.

This is episode FIFTY of Have The Nerve! On this episode we’re going to talk about equity. Are the opportunities for people, specifically students with disabilities, fairer in 2024 than they were in, let’s say, 2000?

16 year old high school student Lara Grimson comes on the podcast to share her story about trying to find work experience as a person with disability and how it bears an eerie resemblance to Susan’s experience 24 years ago.
