If he sets a goal, he completes it.

    Texas Disability History Collection, University of Texas at Arlington John Dycus Co-founder of UT Arlington’s Handicapped Students Association and Arlington Handicapped Association, former advisor for the UT Arlington Shorthorn Interview conducted by Miles Shaffer in 2013 in Arlington, Texas Transcription by Nichole Sheridan Disability Studies Minor Special Collections and Archives University of Texas at Arlington Copyright © 2016 by University of Texas at Arlington Libraries Biography John Dycus was born in 1949 and grew up in Arlington and Fort Worth, Texas. He obtained his K-12 education in Fort Worth, attending Paschal High School, class of 1965. Between kindergarten through eighth grade, Dycus attended special education classes, which were not offered when he reached high school at Paschal High. After graduating high school he attended the University of Texas at Arlington and graduated in 1970.

In 1997, HRA named him their Man of the Year. In the 1970s, Dycus served on the Texas Developmental Disabilities Council, which is a governor-appointed committee that advises the state legislature on policies related to disability and people with disabilities. In 1974, he was given a Governor’s Citation for his work on the council.
