Miguel Lugo

Expert on

  • Education & inclusion

Miguel is a 43-year-old man living with Cerebral Palsy (CP). He was diagnosed with CP at the age of 4, and his parents were told he would never walk. Miguel went on to live the life of a "typical disabled child" by going through special education. He took his first steps at the age of 11 and, without realizing it, made the choice to take his future into his own hands by pushing his parents to enroll him in regular education at the age of 14. Since then, Miguel has gone on to become an advocate and leader for those living with disabilities.

Note: Disability Voices United’s Self-Advocates Speakers Bureau trains and empowers people with disabilities to share their stories. The media, organizations, corporations, schools, community groups, and others can leverage the Bureau to find and book individuals with disabilities who have compelling narratives and messages. Disability Voices United facilitates connections with potential speakers but does not oversee their presentations, negotiate rates, or manage their contracts with organizations wanting their services.
