Sylvester Debray

My name is Sylvester DeBray. I was born in 1988 in Portland Oregon in my spare time I like to play video games - especially the Nintendo Wii. I also enjoy playing my Yamaha keyboard, playing on my Apple Macbook, listening to records, swimming, and bowling.

You can learn so much more with ELNW that you couldn't in regular school, and be sure to check for updates on our web site as well.

One of my disabilities is Septo-Optic Dysplasia, What is Septo-Optic Dysplasia? Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal development of the optic disk, pituitary deficiencies, and often the absence of the septum pellucid (the part of the brain that separates the anterior horns or the lateral ventricles of the brain). Symptoms often are: blindness in one or both eyes, pupil dilation in response to light, nystagmus (a rapid, involuntary to-and-fro movement of the eyes), inward and outward deviation of the eyes, hypotonia (low muscle tone), and hormonal problems.

I also have autism, the type of autism I have is called Asperger's syndrome.

The reson why I joined ELNW is that I wanted to learn about the program. I also went to several of the Building Futures Conventions and I was quite interested in ELNW's program
