  • Kevin was born without the part of the brain that connects the two hemispheres, a condition known as complete agenesis of the corpus callosum. He was also my student for over three years and the first person to ever be interviewed on SBSK. At birth doctors thought Kev would never walk, talk or think, but he is now applying to colleges while entering his last year of high school.

      So true! I have a learning disability when it comes to mathematics and it was never been my forte. I have to write out any calculations on paper because I'm so ADD in trying to keep the steps to solving an equation in my head. Still, I did better in other classes and graduated from college in '87.

    WHAT AN AMAZING YOUNG MAN!
    So articulate, so charming, smart & funny! What an awesome personality this dude has!!!!! I was having an awful morning- woke up late, kids scrambling around, got in my vehicle to get them to school and it wouldn’t start😤 husbands out of town so I had to call my mother to come help us out .. my daughter texted me saying she just got assigned to write a paper- and it could be on anyone or any topic; and for some reason Chris and SBSK popped in my head! (Chris, or the Queen lol ) and while doing a quick search to make sure she knew who I was talking about I happened upon this video- and when I tell you it totally turned my day around!!! Watching this totally uplifted my mood. He was a delight to see & sit and listen to; and I’m sure he was a pleasure to teach and get to know!

    Contrary to what people think, you can live, and quite successfully, without large portions of your brain. When we get young head trauma victims in with damage or bleeds, they sometimes have parts removed that are damaged. Brain tumor patients often have both tumor and brain margins removed. People who have either a hemorrhagic stroke or thrombotic stroke lose large sections of brain and adapt. People born with this disorder learn compensatory mechanisms for dealing with the data their missing brain would ordinarily deal with. It’s so remarkable.
