🎙️ New episode alert: Redefining Disability in Psychology
Thirty-six years after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law, we're asking: what has psychology learned, and what's still left to do?
Dr. Rhoda Olkin, author and Alliant University Distinguished Professor, joins host Dr. Debra Kawahara on Wellness in Today’s World to share her story as a disabled person, clinical psychologist, and disability advocate. Together they explore disability-affirmative therapy, mentorship, and why inclusion has to be built into clinical training, not added on later.
A grounded, honest conversation on identity, advocacy, and what it means to belong. 💬
