What happens when we stop trying to “fix” disability—and start listening instead?
In this compelling episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland welcomes back Dr. Stephanie W. Cawthon, a deaf researcher, speaker, and author of Disability is Human. Joined by ASL interpreters Amanda Ford and Steven Nugent, Dr. Cawthon dives into the lived realities of the disabled and Deaf communities—and what true inclusion really means.
From navigating hearing loss in a world with limited ASL access, to facing the “disability tax” and confronting stereotypes in the workplace, this conversation doesn’t shy away from the hard truths. They also explore personal identity, societal expectations, and how mentorship, mindset, and opportunity are just as vital as ramps and captions.
Whether you live with a disability or want to better understand those who do, this episode is a must-watch.
