Imagine
if the world saw blindness as a competitive edge in school and employment. In
this session you'll learn how changing the world's current bias against
blindness starts with you. Kristin Smedley will share how her blind sons beat
the negative bias and created the lives of their dreams ‐
and how their success without sight is repeatable.
