In this episode we meet Ken Wynn who shares his life story with us. It's a story of perseverance and passion that illustrates some of the many changes that Australia has gone through in relation to the understanding, experience and expectations of disability.
Following a workplace accident as a 15 year old Ken became a quadriplegic and we hear how he adapted to his injury and has lead a full and interesting life. From studying and working as a draughtsman, adapting vehicles and houses to be accessible and functional for his use, travelling and winning medals in Japan as an athlete, getting married and raising a family Ken has packed a lot of life in and has much he still wants to do.
Carol and Ed talk to Ken about his views on a range of topics and this conversation shows his adaptability, creativity, tenacity, resilience and passion for life.
