What happens when the care you need to survive just isn’t available? Across the U.S., millions of disabled people are facing a growing caregiver shortage—a crisis that makes independent living harder, sometimes impossible. For those with complex physical disabilities like Spinal Muscular Atrophy, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

This week on Pushing Limits, we talk with Kevin Schaefer—a disability advocate, writer, and podcast host living with SMA. Kevin is the voice behind the podcast, SMA News Today, and Embracing My Inner Alien, a column where he shares deeply personal, often humorous stories about navigating life in a body that relies on others for daily care.
Tune in as we unpack what it means to depend on a support system that’s under threat of losing government funding, the difference in accessibility across the country, and why creating community matters more than ever.
This program is hosted and produced by Dominick Trevethan.
