I met Michaela at the Inclusion BC conference in Victoria earlier this year. After hearing about all of the work Self Advocates of Semiahmoo do, I was eager to have her come and present! We hope you will be able to make it to see her speak at Connecting to Strengthen Advocacy in Education, our 5th education advocacy conference held October 18th and 19th at the Civic Hotel in Surrey, BC.
