Marketing campaigns are an important way for companies to sell products or services to customers, including the disabled community. These companies , however, have a responsibility to create campaigns that provide respectful and ethical representation. When these companies fail to do this, they put their own target audience at risk.

On this episode of The Bitching and Bolusing Podcast, we sit own to discuss just what can happen when a company fails to maintain ethics in marketing.

Fallout may be a smash hit on Amazon Prime, but it got us to thinking...."what would we ACTUALLY do in the event of nuclear bomb?". No, we couldn't just strap our kids and their wheelchairs to the back of a horse and go galloping off to a Vault the way Cooper Howard did. Chances are those Vaults wouldn't be stocked with our kids medications anyhow. In this episode we sit down and chat about our extremely unrealistic plans if we were to live in Fallout! So grab your iodine pills and let's get to bitchin'!

From the moment we learn of our children's disability - be it before or after birth - we are told go do as much therapy for them as possible. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, all of the therapy. While therapy is a useful and necessary medical intervention, it can sometimes become overwhelming and completely consuming. Where do we draw the line of "improving quality of life" and "fixing the disability"? Disability is not something that needs to be fixed, yet so often the narrative surrounding therapy can feel as such. We sit down with Clare (that.feisty.disabled.girl on Instagram) to discuss a different perspective on therapy for disabled children. Clare is currently in school to earn her degree in Occupational Therapy where they hope to eventually open their own private clinic working in pediatrics.
