  • ABLE accounts: How to save money for people with disabilities, special needs trusts

    ABLE accounts: How to save money for people with disabilities, special needs trusts
    Jan 21 2026
    What are ABLE accounts? Special needs trust attorney Ellen Cookman talks with "Enable: The Disability Podcast" about 529 ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) accounts, a tax-advantaged savings program for eligible people with disabilities (designated beneficiaries). Distributions are tax-free if used for qualified disability expenses. Cookman, whose son has autism, also spoke about estate planning with a special needs trust, the importance of a durable power of attorney, and how to avoid losing SSI or SSDI benefits if they're working a job. "I think that estate planning and special needs planning is (like learning) a new language. So I just want to encourage everybody to be patient with yourself," Cookman says. "There's a lot to learn. Even though it seems like it's in English, it's not really (laughs)... so definitely equip yourself with knowledge."

    Adaptive clothing for people with disabilities - Intotum fashion (Enable: The Disability Podcast)
    Jan 14 2026
    Intotum founder Hanan Tantush is a UK-based fashion designer who makes adaptive clothing for people with disabilities. In this episode of "Enable: The Disability Podcast," she speaks about being diagnosed with ADHD and making clothes for people like herself with sensory issues, the inspiration that came from her grandfather's style journey, and a desire to help people of all abilities feel good about themselves. Examples include replacing buttons with magnets; using soft and sensory-friendly materials; stretchy waistbands that aren't sweatpants; and backless trenchcoats for wheelchair users. "Adaptive fashion is really for anybody," she explains. "At is core, it's obviously for the disabled community... It gives you back that independence that we're all craving all the time, especially the people that acquire their disabilities later in life."

  • Indigenous artist born with one arm, one leg creates colorful world (Enable: The Disability Podcast)

    Indigenous artist born with one arm, one leg creates colorful world (Enable: The Disability Podcast)
    Jan 7 2026
    Frank Buffalo Hyde, an Indigenous artist who's been featured at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and other museums across the United States, was born with one arm and one leg due to a birth defect after his father was exposed to Agent Orange. In this episode of "Enable: The Disability Podcast," he speaks about the use of prosthetics and other resources, the ways he tried to avoid feeling different as a child, the healing power of humor and pop culture in his colorful artwork, and even Bigfoot, Sasquatch, UFOs and cryptozoology. "For me, I came into the art scene and became a professional artist at a time where I had to fit into a world that wasn't necessarily made for me so I didn't necessarily let my disability define me," Hyde says. "People would find out later when I sign my work and... [be] pretty shocked. And a lot of people would ask me, you know: 'Are you left-handed?' (laughs) I'm like, 'Yes.'"
