One of a Kind Lizzie (The Lizzie Velasquez Story)

Lizzie is one of only a few people to ever be diagnosed with neonatal progeroid syndrome. Instead of pity, she wants you to understand her abilities.

In 2014 after my hearing loss diagnosis, I wanted to learn as much as possible about how to become an advocate.  

Lizzie showed up on my radar while I was researching the topic of “People with Disabilities.”

Lizzie is an extraordinary person who now travels solo to give motivational speeches.  Please take a few minutes and watch her talk with Chris Ulmer from Special Books by Special Kids.
