Listen Later

If you were assaulted, abused or had your car damaged because you requested an able-bodied driver to move from a disabled bay so you could park and get into your wheelchair, how would you feel? I am sure a range of emotions goes through you mind.

In this show we try to understand what it feels like to be disabled and in need of a parking space, a ramp to enter a public toilet or just a lowered kerb to get onto a sidewalk. Our guest is Megan Cross a champion for people who have severe challenges with the ordinary things we take for granted. She shares with us some of her journey with a brother who has a disability, or diffability, a different ability as he calls it, and the challenges they face on a daily basis.
