On this week’s program, Pushing Limits is diving into the heart of the Bay Area disability community with two local guests who are making a mighty impact.

First, we’ll hear from Scott Simpson, President of the Board of Directors for KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now) San Francisco. KEEN empowers children with disabilities through swimming and a variety of other adaptive sports. Learn how this innovative program builds confidence, fosters friendships, and inspires joy for kids and their families.

Next, we welcome back Emily Beitiks, Interim Director of the Paul Longmore Institute at San Francisco State University. Emily will provide an update on the Institute’s latest initiatives, including its work in disability history, culture, and advocacy. From groundbreaking research to upcoming events, find out how the Longmore Institute continues to amplify the voices of disabled people in the Bay Area and beyond.

This program is produced and hosted by Eddie Ytuarte.
