Nick Chase is a Freshman at Virginia Tech studying political science. He enjoys listening to music, shopping at local thrift stores, and playing video games with friends. During today's episode, Nick shares with us his experience with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a rare bone disorder resulting from a lack of collagen. He tells us about his perspective as someone with a disability and what that has looked like in his life.

Nick had this to say about his experience on the Disability Perspectives Podcast: "Being on The Disability Perspectives Podcast was a fun, relaxed conversation with my roommate! I hope that people can learn more about OI, learn not to judge by appearance, and learn to advocate for themselves from my perspective on things."
