Ratings and reviews

Having worked in the disability field for more than 30 years, I love how this book gives hope to those with disabilities as well as parents of children with disabilities. Here is someone who refused to be limited by disability or by the labels others placed on him. It’s an encouraging and inspirational message for all, no matter what obstacles you’re facing.

Ben is a tremendously gifted and insightful man. His persistence in the face of adversity makes for compelling reading, and his awareness of faults in society's expectations of those with differing abilities is helpful for all of us. Thanks, Ben, for offering yourself in this way.

Ben's experience makes the wisdom in this book so very valuable. From childhood to present, he has pushed the boundaries placed on him by circumstance and moved 'the bar' in great service to our culture. Thank you Ben!
