Bill Volkmann

Bill Volkmann is the founder of Empower Your Courage. It is a social media and technology company aiming to achieve full inclusion for people with disabilities and also bridging the gap between technology companies and the disability community. Bill was the first student with an intellectual or developmental disability to attend New Jersey public schools after the ADA was law. Bill has cerebral palsy; his parents instilled in him that even though he has a disability, he was no different from anybody else. Growing up, Bill played and watched baseball. It gave him a connection to his classmates who didn't have a disability. It was a way they could see who he truly was. Bill is publishing a book in the upcoming year about his incredible life story.
