In this week’s episode, a panel of disabled speech pathologists speak join us to celebrate disability pride month. Sheridan Forster, Erin Mills, and Ashleigh Chapman speak about disability, ableism, and celebrating disability pride.

Speech Pathology Australia acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas and waters throughout Australia, and pay respect to Elders past, present and future.

We recognise that the health and social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are grounded in continued connection to culture, country, language and community and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
