This week on #CPChatNow there were a variety of topics talked about as always. The topics ranged from our co-host’s time in Spain on his study abroad trip to the difficulty of finding shoes. This is your interim co-host, Devin Axtman, taking you along on this week’s recap. All aboard!
Unfortunately, our other co-host, Zach Fenell, missed his first chat since September of 2014 due to a power outage.
I also shared our regular co-host, Blake’s, blog from his study abroad trip in Spain. The blog is worth checking out for the attempt at the wheelchair ramp alone!

Now for this week’s extend-the-conversation question: What do you feel is necessary for effective disability awareness? Please post some things you feel are necessary in the comments.
