is a nationally renowned expert on Disability, Americans with
Disabilities Act, and Attitude Change. He is an exceptional communicator
whose audiences praise his ability to combine information, humor,
metaphor, analogy and storytelling into an informative whole that does
not just present the information, but really communicates it in a
memorable fashion.
The movie Music Within
is based on his life story. Richard is a brilliant public speaker with a
troubled past, who returns from Vietnam Hard of Hearing and finds a new
purpose in his landmark efforts on the behalf of Americans with
disabilities. *Taken from the Student Health and Wellness Blog: http://www.slcchws.blogspot.com/
