The Disable The Label Podcast

The Disable the Label Podcast is a place where parents know they can get a tone of non-biased information, hear from other parents that have been in similar situations to them, and feel they have a community with them through their journey. Professionals sharing their knowledge on various products and services on offer across the UK and people in the public eye who might be athletes, and comedians and sharing how their lives panned out.
