The Brains Behind the Operation

 
Student Researchers: Rebekah, Kennen, and Kaitlyn

Rebekah Hope Lindenbach
I am 22.  I graduated from Greenall High School in 2012.  I am a Student researcher in the Astonished! Teaching and Learning Centre at the University of Regina.

I love to travel, spend time with friends and family, look for the humour in a situation, be of service to others, and create the Astonished! community.  I am a member of the Astonished! Leadership Team that plans monthly events for young adults with and without complex physical disAbilities.

I know what I want, and after consulting with others, I communicate this clearly through my voice, lip gesture, and eye contact.  I also like to communicate through phone calls, text messages and email.  I have Bulbar Palsy. 

Kaitlyn Stuart Hoar
I am 24.  I graduated from Michael A. Riffel High School in 2009.  I am a Student researcher in the Astonished! Teaching and Learning Centre at the University of Regina.

I love most sports, theatre, good friends, an active social life, and fashion.  I am a wit and have a quick sense of humour.  I am a member of the Astonished! Leadership Team that plans monthly events for young adults with and without complex physical disAbilities.

I  know what I want and communicate this clearly through eye contact, head nod, and vocalizing.  I have Cerebral Palsy.

Kennen Nadine Dorgan
I am 20. I graduated from Grenfell High School in 2011 and I am a Student Researcher in the Astonished! Teaching and Learning Centre at the University of Regina.

I am up for an adventure (depending on what the adventure might be!). I enjoy ice fishing, visiting with friends and family on Skype, summer holidays at my cottage, listening to my friend play guitar, and becoming a city woman - getting to my favorite places with ease.

I know what I want and communicate this clearly through my voice and eye contact. I have Cerebral Palsy.
