The biggest sporting event of the year is here - the Winter Paralympics! (The Olympics was just the warm-up).
We hear from the BBC's Sally Hurst who's in Milan-Cortina for all the action and find out why ice skating isn't included in the Games. We meet two skaters - Margarita Sweeney-Baird who runs Inclusive Skating, and Rhiannon Parker-Nicholls, an elite skater who had a stroke aged 19 - who are campaigning for the sport's inclusion.
Actress Gracie McGonigal has hit our screens on the latest series of Bridgerton, where she plays new maid, Hazel. But what's it like to pour all that tea with one hand? Gracie talks about some of the confronting and surprising conversations she's had about her limb difference when it comes to the industry and the amazing job the costume designers did on set.
Plus a round-up of what's got you talking in the disability world over the past month including why some younger people are finding themselves in nursing homes and what everyday life can be like when you're living with Tourette's syndrome.
