Hello! I’m Emily Ladau.
I’m a passionate disability rights activist, writer, and communications and cultural access consultant. My career began at the age of 10, when I appeared on several episodes of Sesame Street to educate kids about life with a physical disability. I’m the co-host of The Accessible Stall Podcast and author of Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally.
