UBC Guest Lecture 2021 Term
I have been zooming with graduate speech-language pathology students from the University of British Columbia. I always enjoy it, and have done this for many years. This year because of COVID and everything being on zoom I have been able to participate more than just my usual one guest lecture, but I also REALLY miss being in the same room with all of them. I took this screen shot during the break time of class this morning. Very different experience presenting through zoom. Hope to be back in the classroom next year!

Keynote Speaker for the Canadian Stuttering Association, Toronto ON, October 28th, 2017

Review: “Kim’s keynote speech was powerful and deeply personal, but resonated with us all. She shared and explored hidden truths that we as people who stutter intimately understand. Kim instantly transported me back to when I was 7 years old and crying in my mother’s arms, asking her why I couldn’t talk. Kim sensitively and powerfully explores her relationship with her stutter, as well as her perspectives as a wife, a mother, and a children’s author. We as her audience were laughing, crying, and hanging on to her every word. It wasn’t just her story she was telling – it was ours. It was mine.” – Casey Kennedy, PWS and SLP
