Bio-
Kevin has been a Disability Liaison Officer at Deakin University for over 10 years but his current focus is on completing his PHD research into Attitude-Change in the employment of graduates who have a disability. Since his own sight disappeared approximately 15 years ago, Kevin has been assisted by tertiary disability personnel, and utilized his own resources to develop a profile many people in the disability sector are aware of.
Kevin is now a registered Psychologist, and is currently the Coordinator of the Willing and Able Mentoring (WAM) Program, which is a national mentoring program for tertiary students who have a disability. He would be happy to talk with anyone about study, work, or just living as a person who is blind.
