| 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM | Nelson Lauver: So Much More Than Able. Americans with Disabilities Triumph Every Day!
Until age 29, Nelson Lauver was functionally illiterate as a result of undiagnosed dyslexia. Now he is the inspirational author of the book, Most Unlikely to Succeed.
In this presentation Nelson helps us all get more comfortable with disabilities by sharing stories and insights about his own disability, his friends with disabilities, and other individuals today and throughout history who have not let their disability define them.
During this program you’ll not only get a new perspective on disabilities as you learn of those who’ve beaten the odds and recognized their potential - chances are you will also be able to identify and recognize elements of yourself in the stories – and reach a new realization of your own potential.
This event is co-sponsored by DSPS, Student Life, and Student Equity | Main Campus |

Nelson challenges his audience to become “the story”… the story that will be told by your students 10, 20, even 30 years from now of the teacher who reached out and opened their mind when no one else would or could

criticism and that little voice inside. He then gives you the
inspiration to dig down and make it happen. | Chico |
