E8 Deana Herrman on Disability and Language from a Practitioner and Parent Lens (Harassing Birds. FLY!)

All Episodes

July 31, 2024 • 84 mins

Dr. Deana Herrman, Professor, Physical Therapist, and Parent joins the discussion today and brings so much knowledge and perspective around how we speak. We talk about expertise, lived experience, extending our practice to include social determinants of health and so much more. Y'all Christy is still the loudest, but Deana is the fastest speaker we have had on the program and she is packing in the information like a Gilmore Girl on fire, so get ready. And speaking of loud, there may be yelling--be prepared for that as well. Apparently some passionate feels come out at the intersection of disability and healthcare! Who knew? But we're all friends, folx. No guests, or birds, were harmed in the making of this episode.
