Biography
My name is Jamie. I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 18 months of age. My cerebral palsy affects my muscles and speech. I communicate verbally with those who are familiar, but I use AAC to communicate with the unfamiliar listener. I am currently studying for my masters with a concentration in assistive technology, hoping that I get a career where I help people with disabilities find the right assistive technology for them.
