 In this interview highlight, recorded during Vision Australia Radio’s live broadcast from the Adelaide ATSA Independent Living Expo, Jason chats with Ben Waechter, Managing Director of KYD-X, about why inclusive design and lived experience are at the heart of everything the organisation does.

Ben shares how KYD-X began after his son Harry was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and how the lack of accessible information and services in South Australia led to the creation of both the KYD-X expo and the charity. He explains how KYD-X supports people with disability and their families throughout the year, from running major events to delivering practical solutions for everyday accessibility challenges.

The conversation explores KYD-X’s off‑the‑floor accessible toilet trailers, designed to provide dignity, safety and true accessibility at public events, as well as inclusive community programs like frame running, which give children and young people with disability the chance to train, play and belong alongside their peers.

This interview forms part of Vision Australia Radio’s special coverage from the Adelaide ATSA Independent Living Expo, highlighting innovation, advocacy and community‑led solutions that improve access and inclusion for everyone.

Christina explains the role of occupational therapists and how they support people to engage in meaningful, everyday activities across disability, ageing and mental health. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, she reflects on the changing landscape of disability and aged care, the links between physical and mental wellbeing, and how occupational therapists work with people across all stages of life.

The conversation focuses on recent reforms in aged care, including the introduction of the new Support at Home program, what has been learned in its first six months, and how these changes are affecting access to services and assistive technology. Christina also discusses the challenges facing clinicians and consumers during this period of reform, and her hopes for greater clarity and consistency moving forward.
