A Different Story: The Podcast
A Different Story: The Podcast encourages multidimensional conversations around special educational needs and disability in Egypt and beyond. Every other week, working professionals, family, and community members in the MENA region are interviewed, with the hope that through greater education and awareness, we as a community can deconstruct the stigma and presupposed judgements we have formed towards special needs and disability.
