Kimberly Parsley Welcome to Demand and Disrupt, a disability podcast. I'm your host, Kimberly Parsley. Sam Moore And I'm your co-host, Sam Moore. Kimberly, it is hard to believe it is already April. Kimberly Parsley It is, it is hard to believe. Sam Moore And it's spring and all the pollen is blowing around. Kimberly Parsley It's, yes, it's dusty and yellow out there, I hear. Sam Moore And as we currently speak, the floodgates continue to be open, but, uh, you know, we're, we're staying high and dry so far. Me in Henderson, Kimberly in Bowling Green. So that's right. That's what counts for us at least. Kimberly Parsley We are, we, we are doing well right now. Sam Moore So that is, that is great. Um, we hope everybody else is staying above water too. Kimberly Parsley Indeed we do. So I have a wonderful guest today. Her name is Dr. Kristle Scoresby. She is an assistant professor in the college of social work at the university of Kentucky, and she is also deaf and she talks about cochlear implants and she talks about her research and applying what she's learned in her research to her social work. So a wonderful, wonderful conversation I have with her and you know, something she said got me thinking, as you do. And this, this episode I entitled “Who gets to decide what's reasonable?” And you know, we talk about that phrase reasonable accommodations and so Sam, I'm wondering, has anybody ever in, in your time, either as a student or an adult working or, or anything anywhere questioned the reasonableness, if that's a word Sam Moore if it's not a word, we can make it, we just made it a word of a request for accommodations that you made. I mean, heck with the Webster's dictionary. We're going to have the Moore-Parsley dictionary here. Keep your ears peeled eyes open for that folks, but anyhow, yes, everybody's interpretation of reasonable seems to be different and I'll tell you my, my college experience at Western Kentucky University was overall great. I'd say 98% of my professors were at least decent, but there's, there's always one or two bad apples. My worst apple was my freshman year. It was a broadcasting class. It was not the intro, but the next one up, which was 201. I think they kind of considered that a weed-out class at the time. Cause you know, if you, if you got through that, you most likely stayed in the major and then did well. But if you struggled with that class, you know, chances are you were, you didn't try to repeat it too many times and you just switched your major. But anyway, I had a, we had to watch a video of choice and we were given a list of several to choose from, and we had to write a report about the video. So the first one we tried to watch, um, it was, uh, it was too visual in nature, and my program assistant, Trish, she was trying to watch it with me and describe things for me, but she was like, finally, yeah, she goes, you know, this particular video saying, it's, uh, it's going to be hard for you to get much out of without being able to see it. And I said, well, I kind of think you're right after about 30 minutes of this thing. So my professor made another suggestion of a video that was more doable. And it was, but it was late in the game when we got access to it. So, I watched the film, um, you know, I asked for a little extra time on the report since we were late in getting our hands on it and, um, she, uh, she said, well, if I don't have it from you, uh, by the end of the day, I'm going to give you a zero on the paper because you've known about it forever. So, uh, I went home, well, my dorm and worked my tail off on this paper. I had it done about three the next morning. So the next day I slipped it under her office door while she wasn't there. And, uh, I think I knew she wasn't going to be there that day. So I thought, well, you know, for all she knows, it could have been there the very night after we talked, so we'll be okay. And so I, uh, next class period, I went up there to her. I said, uh, I ...
