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.
