In this episode of PT Confessionals, Wes and Corinne tackle a major life event that comes with a unique set of challenges when you have a disability—moving. Whether it’s transitioning to a new home, relocating for better accessibility, or simply adjusting to a different living space, moving is more than just packing and unpacking—it’s about adapting, planning, and advocating for your needs. Wes shares his personal experiences with moving, from finding a space that truly works for him to dealing with the unexpected obstacles that able-bodied people might never think about—like doorway widths, bathroom accessibility, and transportation logistics. Corinne provides insight on what to look for in an accessible home, how therapists can assist in the transition, and why even small environmental changes can make a big difference in daily life. They also discuss the emotional impact of moving, the stress of leaving behind a familiar space, and the importance of building a new support system when relocating. Plus, they offer practical advice on how to advocate for accessible housing, handle moving day with a disability, and prepare for the adjustments that come with a new living situation. For anyone considering a move—or just curious about the hidden complexities of accessibility in housing—this episode is a must-listen. Because sometimes, moving isn’t just about changing locations; it’s about redefining independence.
