Shelbi Show: Season 1 Episode 16

Shelbi Show is a podcast featuring Shelbi Davenport. The Shelbi Show is a bi-weekly podcast that features Shelbi's stories and guests sharing their stories with lived experiences. Join Shelbi as she has a conversation with Joe Tate and Alex Alvarez. Joe has over ten years of experience educating and advocating for Texans with disabilities. After learning that only 3 states in America require disability history to be taught in public education, Alex felt empowered to begin working on a bill that would require such history to be taught in Texas. He hopes that this bill would spark incentive for other states to implement similar legislation to educate society on people with disabilities and their history. Alex believes that this will make it easier for disabled people to be accepted with their needs met in a non-judgmental way on a large scale. Produced by Better Lives, Better Lives is an organization represented by people with lived experience who are passionately committed to providing exceptional training on person-centered practices that result in actions that support people to live their best lives.
