Walking Through Grief with People with Intellectual Disabilities
FULL TRANSCRIPT AND IMAGE OF IRENE TUFFREY-WIJNE WITH THOSE SHE WORKS WITH HERE
Everyone grieves differently. A professor who started her career in group homes now uses video chat to support people with intellectual disabilities face grief. We had to go from Pittsburgh all the way to the U-K to find Irene Tuffrey-Wijne–there just aren’t a lot of people working around grief and intellectual disability!
This is a bonus episode in A Valid Podcasts' third season, which is focused on social inclusion.
Note that Irene mentions the term learning disability at the end of her talk with disability advocate Alisa Grishman. I’d just like to point out that this term is equivalent to what are called intellectual disabilities in the U-S.
A Valid Podcast comes to you from the All-Abilities Media Project. And from interviews to music, and cover art for this podcast, the majority of us producing this work have one or more disabilities. Others on the team don't identify as having disabilities. Halle Stockton, of the news outlet PublicSource edited several episodes this season. PublicSource has been a great collaborator in covering the disability community, beginning with the multimedia project ADA at 30: Accessibility in Pittsburgh.
Liz Reid of Jeweltone Productions is our audio engineer and sound designer. Disability advocates Dr. Rachel Kallem Whitman and Erin Gannon consulted on the content of this podcast.
Mick Fisher, with Creative Citizen Studios, created our cover art.
The All-Abilities Media Project is based at the Center for Media Innovation at Point Park University. CMI director Dr. Andrew Conte is a co-executive of the podcast, along with Jennifer Szweda Jordan. Jennifer publishes Unabridged Press and manages All-Abilities Media.
