Ep:08 - The Movement For Inclusion - Part 2
Anything You Can Do, I Can Do DIFFERENT... (Part 2)
In this episode JD and Mike D. continue their conversation about the recent increase disability awareness through mainstream media, TV shows like Blue Bloods and Cobra Kai and how support like this helps the overall movement for inclusion in society.
Mike and JD are joined the Pittsford Fire Department Assistant Chief Tom Shannon who talks how he felt a few years back when he inherited JD, an active member with physical disability when he took office a few year back.
He gives us a glimpse into "Adaptive Life Around The Firehouse", talks about the "Brotherhood", accommodations and encourages other departments to support inclusion and keep an open mind.
