In this episode Stephen Unwin discusses learning disability from a historical and cultural perspective. He challenges us to think differently and discusses whether it is right to lump learning disabilities and autism together in a way that has become so common. He discusses the impact of positivity and enablement culture of those who have profound disability. This is an important listen for anyone who supports or cares for someone with a learning disability.
Stephen Unwin is a very experienced theatre director and playwright. He is also the father of a young man with severe learning disabilities and a campaigner for the rights and dignities of people like him. His most recent book, Beautiful Lives: How We Got Learning Disabilities So Wrong is a cultural, philosophical and political history of this forgotten minority and an exploration of the contradictions and challenges of today.

Lisa Brown became a property investor after a long nursing career. She initially developed heritage properties and then a chance encounter led her to discover supported living. She realized this was a powerful way to invest in property while creating homes for people with a support need. Lisa set about discovering why property investors struggle to let their properties to supported living providers and why providers struggle to find property to let. She has been educating people, raising awareness and working on solutions to this problem ever since. Lisa is the host of the Supported Living Property Podcast and YouTube channel and formed The Supported Living Property Facebook Group.
Lisa is founder of The Supported Living Property Network, a place for property investors and supported living providers to connect, build relationships and communicate about property they have available and/or need. Membership includes access to training courses, monthly training events and networking events and access to The Supported Living Property Network Conference.
