Overcoming Learning Differences - podcast
Learning disabilities and handicaps do not prevent you from becoming an author.

He believes those with learning disabilities have a chance to see and feel things in a way others don’t, and can use their disabilities to their advantage. In this interview, Victor gives some examples of how he was able to overcome the challenges associated with his handicaps and some advice for how you can do it, too.
