Louise Speck was injured in an auto accident in her teens, leaving her with a substantial TBI. She spent half her life struggling with the residuals without a clear understanding or adequate help. Like in the case of too many of us, knowledge was sparse. Nearly 25yrs later, she finally began to find some answers. From there she created My Handi-Cap (c) and shortly after, was fortunate to meet the Founder of MIT BrainTrust who was excited about helping her expand and fund the project. See mycap@ticklesntears.com. Louise is about to release her first book TicklesnTears: The Psychology of Humor.
At celebrations of ADA’s 25th Anniversary, Louise modeled personalized examples of My Handi-Cap (c), drawing an enthusiastic crowd of admirers. MIT BrainTrust is dedicated to promoting accommodation and communication between community and survivors of neurological trauma and other disabilities.
