Episode Synopsis

Relationships are part of the human experience, regardless of disability. But, those with disabilities may face implicit bias, assumptions, and microaggressions from those in the community who are unprepared to understand the unique nuances of those relationships. This podcast shares the perspectives of two married couples, a person who identifies as femme queer, and a relationship coach for neurodiverse individuals on what we need to know about people with disabilities and their right to love. Why you should listen: Reexamine your biases about people with disabilities when it comes to love, marriage, intimacy, and dating, and consider how assumptions – yours and others’ – affect citizens with disabilities. Together we can improve understanding of the need for more inclusion and acceptance of people with disabilities and their right to love.This podcast was made possible through support from arc Thrift Stores, Developmental Pathways, PASCO, and The Arc of Aurora.
