Awareness about disabilities

Hello. I am Ben D. Anderson originally from Kenmare, ND now living in Wisconsin. I was born with a disability which is cerebral palsy. I went to a private school for children with disabilities back in 1957 until 1965. I then went to home and attended special education classes until I graduated from high school in 1972.

I married Dee Anderson on March 26, 2006. I am the author of "IQ of 63, So What!" Going Beyond Everybody Else's Expectations ( Aug-2007)

In 1992 I went beyond expectations by graduating with a degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in Vocational Rehabilitation.

I am a speaker on the subject of disabilities sinse 1978 when I began Break Through Inc. a non-profit organization. I have spoken at groups and conferences throughout the United States. Sinse my marriage to Dee we have traveled together as husband and wife greeting individuals and giving them a hope and encouragement to go beyond expectations despite any disability. We are hoping that you will come along with us on this Blog journey to share experiences we all have encountered.
