“

Bill is an articulate, vivacious young man. He speaks to audiences in the first person about challenges to learning, independence in living and working that, while they exist, should not be accepted as barriers to fully engaging society. Bill has an enthusiastic and purposeful message for students of all ages, professionals and families in which he demonstrates that a supportive family, a willing society and the internal desire to achieve can produce meaningful results!” Corrie J. Odom, PT, DPT, MS, ATC Assistant Clinical Professor Duke University.

 

“Bill takes his listeners inside his life experiences, and in a non-threatening manner challenges their views concerning people with disabilities. My graduate students find his presentations insightful, informative and enjoyable.” Jim Artesani, Ed.D. Assistant Professor of Education, University of Maine.

 

“By being in the classrooms, you made it more comfortable for the students to ask questions and participate in the interactive component of your program. Since there are various developmental issues which impact such a diverse population (K-8), the classroom presentation was in fact the most suitable form of education.” Dr. Gloria Giroux, a Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

 

“Bill's presentations infuse humor and reality into topics which people often do not talk about. He provides students with a unique role model where you may not have expected one to be.” Lynn Gitlow, Ph.D., OTR/L, ATP, Associate Professor of OT at Husson College in Maine.

 

“Bill shared his humor, struggles and knowledge, which made the college students very accepting of his unique abilities. Bill’s willingness to have students solve communication issues with the keyboard was extremely valuable. Overall Bill’s visit helped to create a deeper understanding of issues in the course…Bill makes the issues real for the students.” Diane Jackson Ed.D, University of Maine.
