What if we’ve been thinking about disability all wrong? Author and disability advocate Rebekah Taussig explores why needing support is part of being human, how universal design creates better communities for everyone, and why accessibility should never be treated as an afterthought.
Through personal stories and thoughtful conversations about friendship, advocacy, and belonging, she challenges the idea that people with disabilities are a burden and instead shifts the focus to creating a world that works for everyone.
Many of the ideas in this conversation are explored in Rebekah’s acclaimed book, Sitting Pretty. If this discussion resonates with you, it’s a must-read for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of disability, accessibility, and what true inclusion looks like.
