We talk a lot about accessibility in public spaces, but some of the hardest conversations don’t happen there. They happen in private, with family and friends. And unfortunately, they happen in the spaces that we are supposed to feel the safest. In this episode, Beth Deer along with her two guests, Disability Inclusion Expert Bean Gill and Registered Clinical Counsellor Dan Spring, unpack what happens when accessibility becomes negotiable with family and friends. Dan and Bean offer their perspectives on how quickly our family and friends’ boundaries can turn into something deeper and make us feel like we don’t belong.
