Episode 60: Michelle Friedman-Keshet and Institute for Therapy through the Arts
This week, on Inside the Skev, we sit down with Michelle Friedman, a Skokie resident and fierce advocate for individuals with disabilities. Michelle is a life coach, writer, and board member of Keshet and the Institute for Therapy through the Arts (ITA), both of whom have been featured on this show. Michelle speaks to many schools and students of her experience living with blindness. We also talk about how she and the disabled community are adapting to the world of Covid. This episode can be watched on Youtube or listened to on any podcast app or Skevanston.com
Michelle’s first published children’s book is titled, “Close Your Eyes.” The book is all about the experience of a young child with blindness, and she invites her friends and readers to close their eyes and experience her world. The book can be purchased from friend of the show, Bookends and Beginnings. The book can be purchased by clicking here. Please support them and keep our community bookstore alive.
