Todd has cerebral palsy but has never let his disability stop him from achieving his lifelong goals. He relies on his SGD, air spelling, texting, email, and social media to communicate with the world. He has fought barriers his entire life and continues to win! Todd inspires anyone that is lucky to meet him.

“Growing up in the 1980s was challenging as child with cerebral palsy. I was smart, but I couldn’t talk, so nobody heard me. This is a story about how I learned how to communicate, first with symbols then with a speech device and how it changed my life.”
