When people hear the words Cerebral Palsy, they often picture limitation. They imagine difficulty walking, difficulty speaking, difficulty moving through the world with ease. What they don’t immediately picture is a comedian delivering a powerful TED Talk. An actor on one of the most acclaimed television dramas of our time. An athlete competing on the…
