Breaking Barriers to Independent Living in Alabama
Today, I’m joined by Davina Patterson, Executive Director of the Disability Resource ...Network. Davina and her team are on a mission to break down the hidden barriers that keep people from living life on their own terms.
The organization helps folks with disabilities gain the skills and support they need to create lives they’re proud of. Plus, we talk about why independence shouldn’t be a privilege—and what each of us can do to help make it possible.
We discussed:
