Visibility Matters
Welcome to Visibility Matters, the disability, neurodiversity, health and wellness podcast that aims to shed light on the experiences and stories of individuals with disabilities. I'm your host, Ryan Steiner, an autistic self-advocate, ultra runner, and proud father to my amazing daughter, Kala, who is also autistic and a wheelchair user.
Join us as we embark on a journey of true inclusion and belonging, where we push the boundaries of what's possible. Together, Kala and I run races ranging from 5k to 50k, with me pushing her in a racing wheelchair we fondly call the chariot.
Through our shared passion for running, we've not only experienced remarkable physical improvements but also witnessed the transformative power it has on our mental and social well-being. Along the way, we've formed meaningful connections, making us feel truly visible and part of a supportive community.
In each episode of Visibility Matters, we'll explore various aspects of disability health and wellness, bringing you inspiring stories, expert interviews, and practical tips to enhance overall well-being. We believe that by sharing our experiences and amplifying the voices of others, we can create a more inclusive and understanding society.
So, whether you're a person with a disability, a caregiver, an ally, or simply curious about the world of disability health and wellness, join us on this incredible journey of visibility and empowerment.
Remember, Visibility Matters
