Interabled Relationships – Pushing Limits – April 5, 2024

Adrion Garcia & Bella Gonzalez Love is love, whether you live with a disability or not. However, those in interabled relationships face unique challenges that stem from within the relationship as well as from outside factors. These challenges can include finding a balance between needing care and being a reliable partner, as well as dealing with the financial limitations that governmental programs such as social security place on married couples. In this program, three people with disabilities discuss their experiences with dating, intimacy, marriage and much more. Denny Daughters We talk to Denny Daughters, one of the Pushing Limits’ producers, about the unique challenges of being a blind man married to a sighted woman. Genevieve Werner Genevieve Werner shares her high school (and beyond) dating experiences while living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.  And, she details the difficulties of intimacy for those who require caregivers.

This episode of Pushing Limits is produced, edited, and hosted by Dominick Trevethan. The post Interabled Relationships – Pushing Limits – April 5, 2024 appeared first on KPFA.
