Ramped Up is the name of a brand new podcast made by Joel Sprouse and Julia Sienko. As young adults who have used wheelchairs for our entire lives, we have plenty of experiences to share - from bullying in primary school, to head-butting a metal box at 15 mph.
But of course, disability is far more than wheelchairs. 20% of the world have some form of disability so there is a good chance you have one. If so, we'd love to speak to you about your experiences.
In this episode, Joel, Julia and Lexi talk to Paul Isaacs, who is an autism advocate, public speaker and trainer. We'll be speaking to him about his experiences in education and employment and what he's doing to improve it for others.
