“Salmon offers a unique view of first-day jitters through the experiences of a brave, witty and insightful character whose physical limitations don’t stop him from achieving his goals.” ~ Lisa Kaiser, co-author, Shyness: The Ultimate Teen Guide

Every year, 10,000 babies will develop Cerebral palsy in the US alone. One of those people is Steven Salmon, who was raised by a loving mother until the age of 47. When she died, he was forced to live on his own—and now, he has a message: it’s possible to live independently with severe Cerebral palsy.

“I became a man overnight, making decisions for the first time in my life,” recalls Salmon in his new book, It’s a New Life! “There was no one to wipe away my tears. But my promise to my mother was to keep moving forward.”

In an inspiring and thought-provoking interview, Salmon can discuss:

• The struggles of using Morse code to write, since he cannot use his hands
• How Cerebral palsy has helped him become an author, by giving him the strength of patience
• His response to being rejected for employment by the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, and how he continued to life out his dream
• How he has been able to live independently, with the help of a care agency and care attendants
• His passion for life and moving forward, and how anyone can achieve their dreams
