Sophie shares her personal experiences with disabilities and offers insights into how colleges and universities can be more inclusive to disabled students.

We also discuss the importance of looking at the whole person rather than just their diagnosis and the need for a more human-centered approach in healthcare.

The conversation also covers the importance of culturally responsive education in graduate programs, the benefits of having more speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs), and ways able-bodied individuals can support those with disabilities.
