Changing What’s Possible: The Disability Innovation Podcast | Season Three

Tremendous progress has been made in the development of technology and other innovations to support people with disabilities and make the world more accessible, but we still have a long way to go. The Paralympic Games have been a key driver of innovation and are changing the way that people perceive disabilities and assistive technologies. In this episode, you’ll hear from Paralympic athlete Jeff Butler, a member of the USA Wheelchair Rugby Team and a three-time Paralympian. Jeff and his teammates took home the silver medal in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, the 2020 Games in Tokyo, and the 2024 Games in Paris. He shares his story and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at accessibility and assistive technology from his experiences during the recent 2024 Paralympic Games, including mobility aids, adaptive clothing, and more.
