The Accessibility Partners & InclUSion Podcast
The Accessibility Partners and InclUSion podcast is hosted by Mandy-Jayne Lace. The podcast explores a wealth of topics, deep-diving into life with a disability, be it physical, a learning disability, or neurodiversity. Our challenges are unique, and this podcast aims to inspire conversations about how we all have a role to play in fostering better inclusion and reframing those stereotypical preconceptions around disability.
