In this episode disability rights advocate Robin Rider Osbourne returns to continue telling her story of life in the 1960's with a disorder. She picks up where she left off as she discusses being devalued and how her life changed after being diagnosed with a mental illness. She then goes on to discuss how her life changed after going off of medications which she took for her mental illness and how her quality of life improved. I then briefly discuss how Dr. Wolf Wlfensberger's theory of Social Role Valorization (SRV) came to be in the 1960's and how it can be used in today's society. The episode concludes with Robin asking for systemic change in Kentucky for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities to bring Kentucky into the 21st century and encourages today's youth who are preparing to be self advocates to use this story as a history lesson so that future Kentuckians with disabilities will not have to go through the same painful history as those before them
