Episode 16: Ava Sabadishin – Finding Her Voice

What happens when a diagnosis doesn't limit your future—but helps you better understand it?

In Episode 16 of the Posability Podcast, Wayne Cordova sits down with college student, self-advocate, volunteer, and disability leader Ava Sabadishin to share her inspiring journey of receiving a diagnosis as a teenager and discovering her passion for advocacy.

Ava opens up about the challenges of navigating a late diagnosis, learning to trust herself, finding community, and becoming a voice for others through the Florida Youth Leadership Forum, the Family Cafe, the Florida Independent Living Council, and her volunteer work with Posability.

Whether you're a self-advocate, parent, educator, or simply want to better understand the disability community, this conversation is full of encouragement, practical wisdom, and hope. Ava reminds us that disability isn't the end of the story—it's often where purpose begins.
