Because of his hearing disability,
Matt Lake suffered taunting and
prejudice his entire life. Schools
were not equipped to deal with his
special needs and fellow students
were not amenable to helping him
adapt. The result was that he was
the subject of bullying and was
castigated by fellow classmates.
Even as an adult, employers
were quick to dismiss his abilities
because of his limitations.
