About Keith

From the time he came to terms with his own disabilities at the age of 15, Keith Bonchek had the desire to help others. Having had both positive and negative experiences as an individual living with disabilities, Keith has the unique ability to see both sides of the coin.

Considering the reality that 1 in 4 people currently living in the United States have some type of physical or sensory disability, it is critical that nurses and other health care providers are prepared to effectively communicate with and treat patients who are deaf, hard of hearing, and/or disabled.

Keith can coach you one-on-one or provide an interactive presentation to your team. Ability Together provides the support you need to meet your patient’s needs.

What our clients are saying

Keith's amazing journey demonstrates to my staff how a life of meaning and value should look for any one us - full and filled with valued relationships, spirituality, drive and entrepreneurship. His insights will challenge the way in which you see things, and hopefully the things you see, will change as a result of his message.
