Intellectual Disabilities: Challenges, Progress, & Social Impact | Ep.196: Frank Bartoli

OnTheStacks with Bill Corcoran Jr.

This week in the blu door studio, Bill sits down Frank Bartoli, Founder and CEO of PA Inclusive, a non-profit focused on creating and supporting inclusive and sustainable lives for people with disabilities. In this episode we discuss the challenges faced by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the innovative solutions to promote inclusivity and healthier lifestyles through cooking and gardening classes, and fostering inclusive environments for social integration. We also explore employment opportunities and support services for individuals with disabilities, including funding, waivers, and facilitating their transition to independent living. Frank emphasizes the importance of abolishing subminimum wage practices, sheltered workshops, and enclave work settings, where individuals with intellectual disabilities receive disproportionately low pay for their work.

Enjoy!
