Disability or Inspiration? -From CP Diagnosis to Rock & Roll Drummer | Isaac Marquardt | TEDxOshkosh

Cerebral Palsy is typically thought of as a disability that greatly limits choices in life. In what would look like an impossible dream, the speaker was born with both cerebral palsy and a passion to make music. This talk explores the unexpected creative overlap between these two states, and the way that being "disabled" can be a benefit, rather than a burden. Isaac Marquardt is a 21-year-old senior at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, majoring in Radio, TV, and Film with a minor in Music Industry. When he is not in school or hosting a radio show, Isaac plays drums around the country with Wisconsin-based indie rock band Barely Civil. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
