ListenABLE Kids - Hosted by Emily Prior | #85

Welcome to our second 'ListenABLE Kids' a space for like minded and aged young adults to have conversations about the lived experience of their disabilities.

We started these episodes as a way for Dylan and Angus to exit the conversation and allow natural language and conversation to flow from individuals with similar experiences. How can Dylan and Angus know what it's like to have an iPhone at school when they were playing snake on their Nokia's.

Guests:
