Robot Unicorn

How To Talk To Kids About Disabled People


Listen Later

In this episode of Robot Unicorn, Jess and Scott sit down with their close friend and colleague, Brooklyn Marx, a disabled psychotherapist, to explore how to talk about disability honestly and openly with children. Brooklyn shares her personal journey with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), the challenges of growing up with a disability, and the evolution of her personal identity.


Whether you’re a disabled parent, a parent of a disabled child, or simply someone interested in nurturing inclusivity, this episode provides real-world advice and heartfelt insights that encourage us all to view disability as a natural, integral part of human diversity.
