Interabled Relationships – Pushing Limits – April 5, 2024

KPFA - Pushing Limits

Love is love, whether you live with a disability or not. However, those in interabled relationships face unique challenges that stem from within the relationship as well as from outside factors. These challenges can include finding a balance between needing care and being a reliable partner, as well as dealing with the financial limitations that governmental programs such as social security place on married couples.

In this program, three people with disabilities discuss their experiences with dating, intimacy, marriage and much more.

We talk to Denny Daughters, one of the Pushing Limits’ producers, about the unique challenges of being a blind man married to a sighted woman.

Genevieve Werner shares her high school (and beyond) dating experiences while living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. And, she details the difficulties of intimacy for those who require caregivers.

Adrion Garcia tells us how he met his fiancé and the changes they’ve stared down since he became a quadriplegic after a work accident.

This episode of Pushing Limits is produced, edited, and hosted by Dominick Trevethan.
