Connected Us
The Empowerer
In this episode, we talk with occupational therapist and disability rights advocate, Dr. Bec Waters. Bec teaches a unit about disability at Curtin University and is well known for her strong views on how much of our “help” actually helps keep people with disability in a position of disempowerment. In this truly eye-opening discussion, we discover what genuine connection with people with disability looks like (hint: it looks a lot like genuine connection with anyone else).
