Two Rivers, 30 Minutes for 7-21-2023
07-21-2023
Guest: Nancy Murray, president of Achieva of Greater Pittsburgh
How Topic Discussed: July is Disability Pride Month. How does Achieva help people with disabilities? Who does it serve? What kinds of resources are available for disabled people in Western Pennsylvania? What challenges do they face? How has our understanding of "disability" evolved over the years? How about people coping with so-called "invisible" disabilities — certain long-term conditions, for instance — how have services evolved for them?
