Chapter 9 Conversation – Learning by Doing – Creativity and Hands-On Learning Shaped My Story | Embracing Your Different Ability®
About this episode
In this episode of The Different Ability® Podcast, Katey and her mom, Lynn, dive into Chapter 9 of Embracing Your Different Ability®. They explore how creativity, thinking outside the box, and hands-on experiences—like welding at a young age—helped Katey build confidence, overcome challenges, and develop her advocacy skills. Katey shares strategies for identifying strengths and areas for improvement, offers guidance for students and parents navigating learning differences, and emphasizes the importance of being more than your disability. This conversation inspires listeners to embrace creativity, hands-on learning, and self-advocacy to shape their own path.
