Paul Stuart Wichansky appeared at Montclair University this past week and just hearing him speak, left the students in amazement as they are still talking about the impact he made. Paul was giving a talk at a high school when he noticed a teenage girl, in the back of the room, with her head down throughout the duration of his talk. After the auditorium cleared, this young girl approached Paul and said, "Hi. My name is Danielle and I have Cerebral Palsy." Paul responded, "Yes but it doesn't need to have you."
Paul Stuart Wichansky was born with Cerebral Palsy. Paul was also born hard of hearing, as he wears a hearing aid in each ear. Paul's motto is, "Take the 'Dis' out of disability. The person that struggles, sets the standard; cheating destroys that." Paul Stuart Wichansky is an amazing speaker. After his seminars, people rush to meet him. He reassures others that they are special just the way they are.
