Ep 74 “That’s Just Scott”: Unseen Dyslexia & the Realities of Neurodivergence
In a world where disability often gets lost in the noise of bureaucracy, how do we ensure that every voice is heard?In this episode, we are thrilled to welcome Peter Smith, the Director and Founder of the Center for Disability Employment Research and Practice (CDERP). With over 15 years of experience in the field, Peter has dedicated his career to improving employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities.His journey began at Sydney University, where he recognised the lack of focus on disability and employment. Under the mentorship of leading experts, Peter has developed a robust evidence base for disability employment methodologies and has established accredited training programs tailored for Australia. His work spans across various countries, including Australia, New Zealand, and even Saudi Arabia, making him a global advocate for disability rights.In this episode, Peter and I discuss a range of significant topics, including:● The current landscape of disability employment in Australia and the impact of the NDIS.● The challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia and other neurodivergent conditions in accessing support.● The importance of integrity and evidence-based practices in disability advocacy.● The umbrella effect of the neurodivergent movement and its implications for various disabilities.● Personal anecdotes and lessons learned from Peter's extensive career in the field.Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that not only sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities but also inspires hope and action for a more inclusive future.A Note From Our Director and Podcast Host:I'm Dr. Shae Wissell, and you have been listening to the Dear Dyslexia Podcast.
