My guest today says it best:

‘Education needs to be something that young people are invested in and are at the center of not something that is done to them....we need to stop educating young people and start having systems where knowledge can be exchanged more equally’

One way we can start is to reframe how we think about disability. We need to shift away from individualising and problematising those with disabilities and recognise that, as my guest today points out, there is a ‘Failure to consider the diversity of body and minds in the way that we structure society....We shape the world for this normative body and mind that doesn’t exist’

So how do we do this? How do we unpack centuries of inequality and build back with plural perspectives? Tourettes Hero are proof that Through play, through creativity and through humour we can change perspectives and ultimately change society.
