A New Book

Against the Current—My Life with Cerebral Palsy
by Dr. Bob Segalman, Full Court Press, Verona, WI, 2009

 

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.
