Author Biography

Lee-chin Heng

Lee-chin Heng was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), and has used a wheelchair since a bad fall at the age of 7. She and her OI friends have set up a society for people with Osteogenesis Imperfecta in Malaysia. She is a private music tutor and plans to start a music institute one day for persons with disabilities. As music has always been to her what a true friend is like in times of adversity; she hopes to bring this friend to as many disabled persons’ lives as she can and she also hopes people will one day recognize disabled persons for their abilities rather than staring at them wide-eyed. Lee-chin can be contacted at lc_h02@yahoo.com or +6-013-771-2088. She has also set up a website for OI Society www.oisociety.cjb.net.
