It’s February, and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. So, we decided to mark this time of year by inviting Dan and Viola Dwyer on the show. They are a married couple, and we invited them on Disability Rap to talk about their marriage and common misconceptions about people with disabilities in relationships.
At the age of nine, Dan was in a hit and run accident that left him in a coma for three months and resulted in a Traumatic Brain Injury that he lives with today. Throughout his elementary and high school years, he attended Widener Memorial School in Philadelphia, learning alongside children with physical and developmental disabilities. This experience taught him how to love others and empathize with them. He studied Political Science at Edinboro University and sought a career in government.
