Biografía

[editar]

Cuando nació su madre se sintió incapaz de hacerse cargo y lo envió a un orfanato. Su padre murió en un accidente cuando él era muy pequeño, y frente al abandono de su madre, su abuela se hizo cargo de su crianza. Richard hasta los seis años no pronunció palabra. Un consejero escolar lo consideró retrasado mental. A pesar de su realidad, Richard logró salir adelante y desarrolló aptitudes para la oratoria. En la universidad un profesor lo instó a que encontrara un objetivo en su vida en el que pudiera hacer uso de esa cualidad. Se alistó en el ejército y fue enviado a Vietnam, donde en una emboscada resultó herido perdiendo la audición.[1]​ Así comenzó a incursionar en el mundo de la discapacidad.
