Famous people with 'disabilities'
22 Answers
I am doing a presentation to a group of 13/14 year olds - it is meant to be inspiring. I want to mention a lot of people who have either overcome adversity / disabilities to become very famous - eg:
Albert Einstein / Tom Cruise / Jamie Oliver - dyslexia
Beethoven / deaf
Sir Steven Redgrave / Dennis Rodman - asthmatic
Julius Caesar / Danny Glover - epilepsy
Stevie Wonder - blind
any other people (preferably ones that 13/14 year olds will know / relate to)?
