Twenty-First Century Disability
Let's be honest. Life with a disability can be difficult. Luckily, we are living in the twenty-first century. This podcast is about how living in the modern world has helped people with disabilities to have fairly "normal" lives. Join me as we explore why this is and as I try to look at disability from a social model perspective and change how the world sees disability.

Season 1
This is the first-ever episode of a special series where we take more of a deep dive into a particular disability. Within this series of episodes, we will discuss the history of the disability, as well as whether or not there are different types of that disability. We will also chat with someone who either has that particular disability or is knowledgeable about that disability. Today we will take a look at Muscular Dystrophy. Our guest for today is Debra Chiabai. Debra is a former President of the Muscular Dystrophy Association - Ottawa Chapter, she is also the mother of a boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
