Because I Said So--S3E1: Special Education, Stigma, and Selfhood

WELCOME TO SEASON 3! In this episode, Ava Doyle gave a vulnerable description of her experience in the special education system. We talked about the mental and physical abuse that can sometimes occur in these programs, the social stigma children learn at a young age, and the problems with being taught your identity in early education systems. Ava also discussed the inspiring connections and positives she's received, as well as what we can implement both in legislature and our own interactions to make special education a safer place for everyone.
