What an honour to spend time with Debbie Windsor, a fellow host on CFCR with her show People with Disabilities Speak Out, airing on Thurs on Cfcr.ca at 7 pm. Debbie also writes a blog about her experiences and others who live with disabilities and all the issues, challenges and opportunities that face them.
 
During this episode, Debbie shares in a most authentic, straight forward way her story of being raised in a rural community and then moving into Saskatoon to be placed within a very confined education system.
