What will it take to change the way society cares for the basic needs of carers and those with disabilities in public spaces? How can we create a world where more families can leave the house knowing they have somewhere to attend their needs with dignity?

Jessica interviews Christina Abernethy, a mom and the founder of Love, Hope and Autism. Christina is proud to be the coordinator for Changing Spaces Pennsylvania, a movement to build accessible restrooms with powered height adjustable adult sized changing tables across communities to promote inclusion. She is working with legislators to pass a bill in Pennsylvania that would require such facilities in hospitals, airports, museums, rest stops, sports arenas and more. For her efforts, she won the ACHIEVA Award Of Excellence for Family Support in 2018 and in 2019 was awarded a medal by the Autism Connection of Pennsylvania. Christina is committed to spreading a message of heightened awareness and acceptance of differences, ultimately inspiring hope.
