Franklin Delanor Roosevelt had polio eleven years before being elected the President of the United States of America. He made a deal with the press that they would not take photographs of him wearing his leg brace or in his wheelchair.

Only one by traditional use of the word-Franklin Roosevelt was crippled by polio. Jack Kennedy had severe problems with his back but kept the severity of his problem hidden. Reagan was deaf in one ear but could hear with a hearing aid.

Jefferson had to deal with an injury in his hand . Others presidents had physical problems but no one called them handicapped.

Franklin Roosevelt was the only one who spent much time in a wheel chair.

I believe Reagan was in a wheelchair for a little while after he was shot .
