20 - Part 3: Disability & Education

Welcome to the Living With SMA Podcast.

In PART 3 of Episode 20 of the #LivingWithSMA Podcast, SMA UK Host Ross Lannon chats to 17 year old twins Sam and Alex about the barriers they faced during their secondary school experience. We also talk about whether school days really are the best days of our lives and the assumption that people with physical disabilities also have learning difficulties.
