Kevin McShan's Story of Success Despite Having Cerebral Palsy

Description

In spite of his disability, Kevin McShan is out there making it happen, doing his work and not letting anything hold him down.

You will learn how Kevin McShan went from being born with cerebral palsy to becoming a successful businessman.

"I always tell people that there's no 50% off policy when they have a disability. It's not likely to return them to the store."

Kevin McShan is a graduate of St. Clair's College journalism, print and new media program. Kevin has an extensive history of promoting employment equality for individuals with disabilities, most recently as the job developer and enhanced employer support facilitator with the YMCA. Kevin also continues the effort of promoting inclusion for people with disabilities through his motivational speaking efforts.

I'm Kevin McShan, and I have cerebral palsy. Despite my disability, I've gone on to graduate from college and have a successful career in promoting employment equality for individuals with disabilities. I'm also a motivational speaker, and I use my platform to share my story and promote inclusion for people with disabilities. I credit a lot of my success to my family, who have always taught me to go after my dreams and never give up. One of my favorite things to do is play pranks with my identical twin brother - like dumping all the spices from the spice rack into a cup of milk and daring each other to drink it!
