Conference Description : The conference will begin with a keynote presentation by Kim and Fran Peak. Kim was the inspiration for Barry Morrow’s Academy Award winning movie “Rain Man.” Kim’s message: “Recognize and respect differences in others and treat them as you want them to treat you. This will give us the kind of world we want for all of us. Share. Care. Be your best! And you don’t have to be handicapped to be different… everybody’s different.” The afternoon will consist of two sets of breakout sessions.
