À propos de cet audio

Join host Carrie Basas and guest Anna Zivarts, author of When Driving Is Not an Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency (Island Press, 2024), as they discuss family engagement and the personal experiences of parenting with a disability and as a non-driver. Anna shares her journey as a low-vision parent, her family's history with nystagmus, transportation equity activism, and the challenges and triumphs of raising a child with a disability. They delve into the importance of disability identity, community connections, disability-identifying providers, and the role of public policies in creating inclusive environments and robust transportation systems. This episode sheds light on the impact of systemic barriers and the power of advocacy in shaping a more accessible world for all. Rooted in WA is produced by Roots of Inclusion (rootsofinclusion.org) with support from the WA Statewide Family Engagement Center (https://wasfec.org).
