In addition, he manages a Facebook group with the same name. To further convey the message of Respect and Understanding, Theo wrote this book about his life. It paints a penetrating picture of personal experiences and is also an impassioned plea for an inclusive society.
Theo Galgenbeld was born in February 1960
as Benjamin in the family of Dieka and Dorus Galgenbeld in
Nijverdal.
Theo had two older brothers and a sister, all
healthy in body and limb.
Due to medical problems not recognized in time, Theo caused a
serious lack of oxygen. As a result, his mental abilities were not
affected, but his motor skills were.
A limitation that causes him to react about 30% slower than a
healthy person.
