Beautiful Lives: How We Got Learning Disabilities So Wrong | S4 | E43

The Skies We’re Under

We’ve got a not to be missed interview with super Stephen Unwin, he’s on a mission to make people rethink how we view people with Learning Disabilities, as well as shining a light on the world's families like ours navigate.

In his book ‘Beautiful Lives - How we got Learning Disabilities So Wrong’ Stephen uses his knowledge, experience and research to provide insight and challenge, and today’s episode provides a wonderful snapshot of his brilliance, as well as his wicked sense of humour.

You can find more about Stephen on his website at: https://www.stephenunwin.uk/

His book is available, in all formats, here.
