About this listen

 In this episode we speak to the team leading the Disrupting the Cycle project, which aims to better understand how Black people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) navigate the health services system and how to best support these individuals in a way that is culturally affirming, anti-ableist, and also affirms their ability to actively participate in their own healthcare. As part of the discussion, we speak to a Disrupting the Cycle co-researcher and advocate with IDD as she shares firsthand experiences in navigating the healthcare system and what providers can do to allow all the opportunity to effectively advocate for themselves.

Guests:

Olivia Cleveland, Co-researcher, Disrupting the Cycle, Community Advocate

Khalilah R. Johnson, Assistant Professor, Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, Department of Health Sciences, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Tajze Johnson, Doctor of Occupational Therapy Student, Methodist University, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant

Host:
Caryn Bell, Associate Director, Partners for Advancing Health Equity, Assistant Professor, Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine
