I am not sure what definition you are looking for of handicap. But there is a lady named Sue Thomas who was born deaf and grew up learning how to read lips and sign. She is/was (not sure if she is still working or not) an FBI agent. There was also a show called Sue Thomas F.B.Eye that was made after her. Another good person would be the president, not sure which one it was, but I think it was Ronald Reagen. Hope this helps!

What about Stephen Hawking? He must be just about the most famous handicapped scientist alive today!
