David Scott
ITT Technical Institute (Norwood)

Two years ago David Scott from Dedham, who has Cerebral Palsy, enrolled at ITT Technical Institute in Norwood, MA. He had hopes of improving his skills and earning himself an Associate in Applied Science degree in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design. From infancy to age 13, David moved around with the aid of a walker, until he had some operations that unfortunately caused his muscles to loosen up too much. Since then, David has managed himself in a wheelchair. For two years, he attended evening classes, maintaining an outstanding academic and attendance records. As a member of the National Vocational Technical Honor Society (NVTHS), he was always prepared for class and very eager to assist his fellow students. David advocates handicapped accessibility issues and is currently employed as a CAD operator with FM Global. He plans to continue his education at the University of Massachusetts or Northeastern University, with the goal of becoming a civil engineer.
