Decoding Disability: Insights from Mai Ling Chan

Are barriers truly insurmountable? Explore this question and more in our deep-dive discussion with Mai Ling Chan, CEO of Xceptional Lab. We unravel the multifaceted aspects of disability and its position in the entrepreneurial landscape. Mai Ling, using her experience as a speech therapist, eloquently frames the narrative of disability as a source of creativity and strength, rather than a setback. 

Delving into Mai Ling's background in communication and education, we see the transformative role of speech, language, and occupational therapists in the lives of disabled individuals. We also look at the intersection of artificial intelligence and therapy, which promises a potential game-changer in this realm. Our discourse further extends to challenges that entrepreneurs with disabilities face, including the hesitation to disclose their disability to investors. Mai Ling's insights provide a valuable perspective on flipping the script about disability, empowering unconventional talent to thrive in attracting investments.

As we pivot towards the Exceptional Alliances Epic Online Accessibility Event, we shed light on the aims of this conference - to bring together public and private stakeholders for rich discussions on investment, growth, and policy. We also peek at the accessibility measures put in place for the event and the modest stipend for presenters. Our conversation wraps with a note of gratitude towards Amazon for their enduring support for this conference. Remember, after every significant event, it's essential to pause, reflect, and recharge.
