Turns out running a weekly podcast on your own (while disabled) is actually quite hard! There will be no episode of HEnabled this week while I organise some things behind the scenes.

It's the perfect time to catch up on the show, listen now via the Linktree: linktr.ee/henabled

ID: A picture of the York campus lake in the evening light. It dapples the water and silhouettes the waterfowl on the lake.

There is a green frame around the picture with a quote: 'Let's make your money go further at uni while still having fun!'. The show logo is in the bottom right corner.

Looks like HEnabled is going to be a little delayed this week!

I want to give the script for the ADHD Survival Guide (Money) a little more time and care before it's ready to go out into the world. I will post as soon as it's up tomorrow evening.

Thanks for your patience :)

While not mentioned directly in the episode, Toby also wants to make listeners aware of the Reach charity. Reach did a lot for him before his time at university. They do some really valuable work for children and young people with upper limb differences, so definitely check them out if you can.

Toby is on HEnabled this week! He is an IGGI PhD specialising in developing Game Master AI for TTRPGs.

Toby walks me through how an upper-limb difference shaped his education through reasonable adjustments, the power of his support network, and how gaming can be made more accessible for all.
