Voices for Access: From California to the World – Pushing Limits – March 13, 2026

What does it mean to advocate for disability rights on a global stage—and how do different countries approach disability access and inclusion? Saran Tugsjargal Join Pushing Limits this Friday as we talk with Saran Tugsjargal, a student at Rice University who identifies as neurodiverse. In high school, Saran made history as the first student commissioner on the California Advisory Commission on Special Education, where she advocated for policies that benefit students with disabilities. Today, she continues that work at Rice, serving on several disability advisory commissions and representing people with disabilities from the United States at international conferences around the world.  In the second half of the show, we’ll air Part 2 of our interview with Andra Jones Klein. Having lived in both the United States and Canada, Andra shares her experiences navigating disability in two different healthcare and social systems. She’ll also discuss what it takes to create welcoming environments for people with chemical intolerance—and why awareness and small changes can make a big difference.  This episode is hosted and edited by Denny Daughters and produced by Jacob Lesner-Buxton.  Relevant Resources Link to part 1 of Andrea’s interview Andrea’s e-mail: [email protected]   Saran Tugsjargal’s social media handles:  Instagram: moonperfect Linkedin: Saran Tugsjargal  For a full program transcription, click here The post Voices for Access: From California to the World – Pushing Limits – March 13, 2026 appeared first on KPFA.
