Making A World For Everyone: Understanding disabilities and accessibility


Listen Later

For people living with disabilities, accessibility and representation can make a huge difference as they look for acceptance. This week on NowThis Kids, we’re talking about people with disabilities who are fighting for their opportunity to be seen.


Host Naomi Wadler chats to Jordan Reeves, co-founder of the Born Just Right organization, about changing attitudes around our physical differences and how the non-profit helps people with disabilities realize their full potential.


You can’t always tell when a person has a disability, and even once you know what kind of disability a person has, that doesn’t mean you know what their life is like. Correspondent Luria Freeman explains how to take the time to understand, and why we should be working on making the world more accessible.
