underestimated

In partnership with Rogers tv, we are excited to announce a new season of Underestimated, presented by Oatley Vigmond Personal Injury Lawyers and brought to you by Spinal Cord Injury Ontario.  At its core, Underestimated is a show about breaking barriers for people with disabilities, by exploring the challenges faced within the community and highlighting inspiring people who offer diverse and powerful lived experience. Host Tory Bowman and Reporters Oda Al-anizi and Nancy Xia will take viewers from the studio and into people’s homes and workplaces to share stories about housing, employment, relationships and intimacy, mental health, and more. From a Paralympian to a Sex Educator to extraordinary individuals navigating their day-to-day, these stories will inspire and motivate all who watch. SCIO is committed to championing advocacy for people with disabilities and we are thankful to everyone who has contributed to this series.
