Diversity is Cool! Why is elementary school assembly speaker Richard Paul an expert on diversity? He has lived it. Richard Paul was born with a birth defect. His right arm is shorter than his left and missing three fingers. In every school that he presents his diversity assembly program, most of the students are curious to find out what happen to Richard’s arm. Within the first few minutes of the presentation they’re laughing and have a clear understanding of what happened to his arm and soon forget about it. At the end of the school assembly, most of the students want to give him a high two or a hug.

Both our staff and students raved about the experience. It is always difficult to find a school show program that will keep both elementary and middle school students engaged. This one certainly did!”  Janet Seabold Slocum Skewes School, Ridgefield, NJ
