Listen Later

This week we are wrapping up with our Pop-Up Podcast! Live from the 2025 NDSC Conference in Dallas, we were thrilled to talk with Dr. Patricia Tice! Dr. Patricia Tice is a transportation expert, innovator, and advocate for independence in the disability community. 

She is the founder of Brick City Lab, where she’s reimagining transportation education for individuals with disabilities using creative tools like LEGO-inspired systems, real-world simulations, and an empowering online course. Her approach blends practical planning with deep compassion, helping individuals not only get from point A to B...but do so confidently, safely, and independently. 

In this episode, you’ll get to hear about: 

  • The importance of Independence  
    • The creative ways Brick City Lab teaches travel skills through play, planning, and real-life scenarios 
      • How a $50 nail salon trip became a powerful learning moment 
        • The importance of planning for life’s unpredictability: dead phones, missed buses, and everything in between 
          • Why independence for individuals with disabilities creates independence for the families, too 

            • Tune into this episode for a heartfelt, and deeply insightful conversation that will change how you think about independence and public transportation.
