Product Description:

OpenKeynote: Stories can shape our perspective of the world. They help us understand our place in the world, and better understand the experience of others. This session will explore how storytelling allows people with disabilities to name, own, and share the reality of their lived experiences, and thereby creating avenues for increased self-knowledge and self-determination. Their stories offer opportunities to reframe perceptions about disability and drive meaningful change in our communities.
