295- Raising Anti-Ableist Kids with Ashley Harris Whaley
Description
You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I got to hang out with Ashley Harris Whaley to chat about raising anti -ableist kids. Ashley is a disabled woman, mother, author, speaker, speech language pathologist, disability educator, and activist. She leads adult programs and research for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and is the founder of Disability Reframed, an online platform focused on changing perspectives through education and conversation. Ashley is an experienced writer, consultant, and public speaker who delivers impactful messaging. Her writing has appeared in Refinery29 and TripAdvisor, and her debut children's book was published in May 2023. And I'm excited to share that her children's book, I Am, You Are, is out now. Go snag that bad boy. I Am, You Are. I have been learning from Ashley online for a long time and it was so rad to get to hang on the podcast and chat. I continue to learn from her all the time and I'm excited to share this one with y 'all. At the end of the episode, Rach and I chat about how this shows up in our real lives as parents, and how we can step up representation of disability for our kids. All right, folks, let's dive in.
