In this episode, Sarah explains what self-direction means for the disability community. How self-direction has been something people who experience disabilities have had to advocate for because it is not expected that people who experience disabilities self- direct their lives. She talks about how many in society have the overwhelming perception people with disabilities need to be serviced and medically taken care due to their disability experience that they can’t self-direct their own lives. Sarah indicates that self-direction is something that the disability community continues to want to achieve through advocacy and the recognition of their humanity.
