Welcome to Practical Access. I'm Lisa Dieker.
Rebecca Hines:And I'm Rebecca Hines. And today, we're just going to wrap up the season. Lisa, I think we had some real highlights. And I'm curious to hear what your own personal highlights were this summer?
Lisa Dieker:Well, you know, my first highlight is what summer's over No, okay, fun hasn't ended. Right, right. We can have fun. We live in Florida, we can have fun every day. But that's true everywhere. I think that was my kind of highlights from this season is that fun took shape in so many ways. I don't mind dancing. But we found there's a lot in the world of dance. I love cruising. I you know, that idea of fun being accessible to everyone, it's just finding the right fit in the right supports. So, you know, I think I think one of the things that resonated with me, in my mind, as I was listening to our guests, is just kind of sorting out the cost of a lot of this to be honest. So, you know, when you don't have a ton of money to pay for the kind of support you need. It is tricky.
Rebecca Hines:Yeah,
Lisa Dieker:Yeah, and you know, I think to the theme park, I love the idea of going to a theme park that's free. And deciding if nothing else, I get to go watch people ride because maybe I don't want to ride maybe that's too much for me. And, and I think, you know, I still remember when my, my brother was recovering from his illness, we had to go back every year for pretty strong amount of what is that sacrifice? You know, don't sacrifice kid A for kid B was always something I think my parents did well, but I think if you consider, you know, gosh, maybe this becomes a family vacation, like when we did dolphin therapy. That was that was all we did, we gave up everything else. But it was something we chose to do, because it was something that we thought was helpful. And then the next
Rebecca Hines:And I think my kind of closing season thoughts really revolve around that word, respite. You know, I love that there's opportunities for our kids and loved ones with disabilities. We heard some great ones. But there's a real need also for the parents, the caregivers, the teachers, who invest so much energy all year long, in, you know, supporting kids who need us that it is
Lisa Dieker:And then I'm gonna go a little bit rural. So I grew up in a very rural community, and right now with the cost of gas and getting somebody to car and riding along ways. You know, I mentioned St. Louis, that was a two and a half hour car ride. Sounds really good until you get in the car and go and that can be stressful for everyone. But think about like, maybe again, what's in
Rebecca Hines:I'm from Florida, man, that bell Lisa.
Lisa Dieker:Cemeteries I mean, you name it, but gravel, roads cow. But again, I think we often think oh, it's always got to be big and fun. It's fun. And honestly, fun comes from memories. And one other thing is motivation. You know, I think those kinds of opportunities, whatever they are, whether it's you know, I really like tall buildings, I really like buildings with angles. I really like
Rebecca Hines:Well, I'm looking forward to our upcoming season. And I think we're going to be kind of broadening our lens a little bit what's coming up, Lisa?
Lisa Dieker:Well, I think we're going to be thinking about other professions. What does it look like to work with folks such as physicians and learning scientist and you know, all those other disciplines that that You and I get a chance to hang out with and learn from. But honestly, I could I could learn from that population forever. What do you what do you think of Becky?
Rebecca Hines:No, I think that's I think that's right. I think let's let's think outside our field a little bit. I'm looking forward to featuring some guests who can give us information. You know, I, every time I present I talk about things like marketing and how people in marketing know how to display information in a way that it's easily consumed, you know, and that there's some relevance in
Lisa Dieker:I'm just going to end with that sounds like fun. All right. Well, we thank you for joining us. If you have any questions, please send us a Tweet at Access practical, or send us a question on our Facebook at practical access.
