Happy International Day of People with Disability!!
This year we are partnering with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council to celebrate the day, and to create this episode.
We interview young Port Mac local Nate Castelli, our youngest ever guest at 14 years old. Nate is non-verbal, and uses his "talker" - an assistive device that allows him to communicate through pushing buttons - to share his thoughts with us.
Nate and his Dad Hugh talk to us about what it's like to live with disability in Port Macquarie, what makes them proud, and Nate's favourite things to do. Stay tuned to hear Nate challenge Colin to a dance-off , as well as a sweet moment where Hugh tells us how being Nate's Dad has changed him for the better.
Special thanks to Port Macquarie-Hastings Council for bringing Nate and Hugh to us, and for being invested in celebrating disability in our local community!
