In a humorous, fast-paced, thought-provoking presentation, Norman Kunc uses his own personal experiences to explore society’s habitual ways of perceiving people with disabilities. He puts forward four “narratives of disability” and suggests that people with disabilities will only be seen as valued, contributing members of society when we move beyond seeing disability as a deficiency. Norman Kunc is an internationally acclaimed speaker, writer, and activist.
