Show #21 Opportunity Before Ability
Today I had the great honor of speaking with Norman Kunc and Emma Van der Klift.
Norm and Emma have been Keynote speakers at past SENIA events and will be our keynotes again at our upcoming conference in December.
Norman was born with cerebral palsy and initially attended a segregated school for children with physical disabilities; At the age 13, he was integrated into a regular school. From there, he went on to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities and a Master of Science degree in Family Therapy.
Emma is Autistic and is active in the Neurodiversity movement. She initially worked with non-profit agencies that support individuals with intellectual disabilities. She has since completed a Master ‘s degree in Conflict Analysis and Management from Royal Roads University and is certified both as a mediator and a negotiator through the Justice Institute in Vancouver.
Norman and Emma are married and live in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Stay tuned for a glimpse into what their keynote will address at SENIA 2020. Hint: Focus on opportunity before determining ability.
