Episode Summary:

In this episode, Kayla Torti (Program Director at Tucker's House) and Adeline (Tucker's House recipient) join Megan McInnis to discuss the profound impact of accessible home modifications on families living with disabilities. We explore Kayla's journey as both a special needs mom and advocate, hear Addie's transformative story of moving from a converted garage to independent living, and discover how Tucker's House creates dignity and hope through thoughtful accessibility solutions.

What You'll Learn:

✅ How inaccessibility literally makes people more disabled and affects their health
✅ The comprehensive planning required for successful home modifications
