I have cerebral palsy which affects mainly my right side-- I have a limited use of my right hand, my gait is off when I walk, and I have no depth perception peripheral vision in my right eye.  Because there was no special education for people with disabilities when I was in school my teachers did not understand that cerebral palsy affects the way the brain processes information or that I learn differently.  My peers teased me because they did not know how to relate to me as a person.

 

I grew up in a dysfunctional family where they was I a lot of physical, emotional, and verbal abuse.  Because of this and what was going on in school I grew up with low self-esteem.  I always questioned why me, and became very introspective about what was going on around me.  Only after studying in both the mental health and psychology fields did I learn to believe in myself and rescript myself for success.  I also learned that I had to distance myself from my family because they your psychologically damaging to me.

 

I entered the workforce 12 years before ADA became law and found the that I had few opportunities for employment in the workplace.  I have an AAS in mental health, BS in psychology, and credits towards a Masters in a rehabilitation counseling.  In 1983 I became a distributor with Performax and in 1984 personal dynamics Institute.  They merged in 1989 and are now known as an InScape Publishing.  I took the American seminar leaders Association University and became a certified seminar leader.  I have attended Toastmasters and received in the CTM and ATM certifications.

 

I use my personal experiences to offer life and career coaching to clients along with the assessment profiles to help them understand their natural behavioral styles and how to build on their strengths and work with people in areas which are their weaknesses.

 

I have had to learn to be my own advocate because my family was never there for me or support me or believe in me.  If it was left up to them I would live with my mother and received a Social Security disability check.  I have had to distance myself from them because they are psychologically damaging to my mental health.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Davida  A Shensky
 

Success is my only option!

 

I became a disability advocate because I had to learn to fight for my rights and create opportunities for myself.  Because they were few opportunities for people with disabilities when I entered the workplace I had to create my own opportunities.  Today because of what is going on in the workplace people are having to create their own opportunities-- because of my experiences just makes me an expert in this field, and helping others to reach their maximum potential in life.

 

I had to learn to live without limits, because society was placing limits on me.  People tend to put limits on themselves, because of they are replaying the tapes in their head, telling them who they are and what they should be.  We need to learn to take control of our all own lives and be who we want to be.

 

This is what I work with clients and help them learn how to do for themselves!
Getting Started With Davida  A Shensky
 
The best way to learn about me is to read the article that I have posted on the Internet.  When you google the name Davida Shensky there is a lot of articles that are submitted.  Just be aware, that anything that has my name attached to articles written by Jeff Fisher were never written by me.  Jeff Fisher used my name to write articles about some political issues that he is involved with and wanted to prove that he was not and mentally ill and that others believed what he believed.  He is someone who is homeless and told me he could help me with fixing my computer.  That was how he got in, and it took me five days to get rid of him.  I did not realize at the time that he was using my name to write articles for himself.
