Executive Function Brain Trainer Podcast #61: Flipping Disabilities into Abilities and the Impact on Executive Functioning
In this episode of the Executive Function Brain Trainer podcast, hosts Darius and Erica offer an exploration into redefining the term “disability”. With empathy and professional insight, they explore the definitions of disability provided by the ADA and the Equality Act 2010. They challenge the traditional view of 'disability', advocating for a more inclusive understanding of cognitive diversity. The episode is enriched with compelling stories to highlight the unique gifts that emerge from thinking differently. This conversation serves as a heartfelt affirmation that what are often seen as weaknesses can be significant strengths, celebrating the creativity, problem-solving skills, and compassion inherent in embracing cognitive diversity.
