Background

About Rob Plaskas

I am a Inspirational Speaker and author looking for speaking events so I can tell my recovery story. I had a brain hemorrhage bleed during brain surgery when I was seventeen years old. My recovery shows how some survivors of severe brain injuries can have a productive life if they work hard at their physical, speech, cognitive, and emotional therapies. Rob Plaskas has been a special project coordinator for the Illinois General Assembly since 2004 and is valued by his co-workers and friends. With his learning disability, he labored hard to get his Associate’s in Science degree from Waubonsee Community College, his Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from Illinois State University, and his Master’s degree in Human Services from the University of Illinois Springfield. He loves to go to sporting events, dancing, wineries, and to socialize with friends and acquaintances. Born in Oswego, Illinois with a loving family and close friends, Rob now resides in Springfield, Illinois with his dog Maggie.
