Welcome to Disability Awesome. Each week, this post will feature a person or persons with mental and / or physical disabilities who are doing awesome things! As someone with an disability, I love it when others when disabilities do great things!
Accepting and overcoming the limitations of his disability by engaging with clay, Kelvin Crosby – also known as the DeafBlind Potter – found a tactile outlet through which to expand his senses. Legally deaf and blind – his sight and vision impacted by the genetic condition Usher Syndrome Type II – Crosby explorations in pottery began as a means of deepening his trust in touch.
Yet since, the inspiration he found through art has fed into entrepreneurial ventures and the evolution of two businesses – enabling others to navigate their disabilities more freely through specialized technologies and the power of clay.
