AT Banter Episode 397 - Donna Jodhan Returns

49 minutes

This week, Rob, Ryan, and Steve are joined by returning guest Donna Jodhan, an advocate and author, to discuss her latest initiatives. Donna shares insights on her new focus—transition programs designed to help youth with disabilities prepare for the workforce, enhancing their value to employers. The conversation also revisits Donna’s landmark 2010 court case challenging the accessibility of Canadian government websites, a pivotal moment that contributed to the development of the Accessible Canada Act in 2019 before diving into the importance of self-advocacy and the critical need for robust enforcement to ensure compliance with accessibility laws.
