Keynote Speaker #1 Confirmed!
Walk a Mile in My Shaky Shoes: How To Tap Into the Ability in disABILITY in School
Presented by Matthew Corkum
Matthew achieved a PhD in atmospheric science and now works as head meteorologist for an energy trading company. He not only knows how to track the weather, he knows what it is like to be excluded, bullied, and discriminated against.
Growing up, Matt was bullied in school and found it difficult to make true friends. It is alright to be different, but he thinks we need to do a better job of educating others not to be afraid of “different”. He is passionate about inclusion of those with disabilities and teaching others how to interact with those who are different. If everyone is included, everyone wins.
