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, Bob went on to
receive two doctoral degrees and is the successful--and for a long time, 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 Bob’s profits from this book will go to Speech Communications Assistance
by Telephone (501c3).
