I proved them wrong | Proloquo2Go |Self-determination | WI Board for People w/ Develop. Disabilities

I was labeled “unemployable” by an insurance company when I was four years old. They clearly did not know what they were up against. In this vlog, I prove how wrong they were.
I use a communication app on my phone to speak. The one I use is called Proloquo2Go. I'm able to pre-program what I want to say or type things out when I'm having a conversation.
Here’s the link to a video where I talk about Proloquo2Go: • Assistive Technology |...
I manage an on-line site called the Self-Determination Network. It’s a place to promote “Self-Determination by working together to understand, implement and create rewarding lives for elders and citizens with disabilities.” It’s not affiliated with the Self-Determination Channel. Here’s a link if you’d like to check it out.

Hey Stacy! It looks as if you are a very determined person in spite of what you heard when you young. I think they say that about all children that are born with disabilities. I had a job working as an IT for an agency that provides services to people with disabilities before the pandemic started. My current job is to finish community college.
