Against the Current—My Life with Cerebral
Palsy by Dr. Bob Segalman, Full Court Press, Verona, WI, 2009. Can be 
purchased at www.drbobsautobiography.org 

This book is a wry and savvy enlightenment about living with significant 
disabilities. But more significantly, it’s about surviving it in style through a 
towering intelligence, a slashing sense of humor, and the filling up of a bushel 
basket full of accomplishments along the way. Born in 1942, Dr. Bob Segalman’s 
parents insisted on mainstreaming him several decades before inclusion was 
even conceptualized. As a result, Dr. Bob received two doctoral degrees and is 
the successful-- and for the most part, the sole--advocate for the 
implementation of Speech-to-Speech phone services for people with speech 
disabilities, which have since, thanks to his relentless efforts, been adopted 
across the country. This is his story.

All Dr. Bob’s profits from this book will go to Speech Communications Assistance 
by Telephone (501c3) so that more people with speech disabilities can learn to 
use telephone with Speech-to-Speech.
