Great question! It is hard for me to think of a "general" impact beside having people be more empathetic and nice to one another. When I think of impact I break it down into a few categories, some being children and educators. I hope that children with disabilities learn at an early age through our videos that they are welcome and accepted in this world. I also hope they learn that they are not alone. My goal is for children who do not have a disability to be introduced to the topic at an early age so that it becomes their norm. I believe through children we change the future and can create a more accepting and inclusive world. With educators, I believe we can become the number one resource for teaching about disability and neurodiversity.

We have been talking about it for a long time but have not set and concrete dates. I can say that most likely our first trip to a non-English speaking country will happen in the next two years.

They have admitted they do not know of if it is permanent or temporary. I believe they will let the advertisers decide. I feel incredibly disheartened around the whole thing but will continue to fight. We are doing many things behind the scenes to make sure we leave no stone unturned.

The person being interviewed or their guardian fills out a form on our website. This includes just a little bit of information, such as name, age, location, diagnosis. Besides that, I don't want to know much. I want the interviews to be as if you are bumping into somebody in a social situation for the first time. I hope to model for the audience that friendships are easy to form as long as you are accepting of the other person as they are.

I choose based on diversity. First I look at diversity of diagnosis. I look at SBSK as an encyclopedia so I want to include everyone to widen our impact. After diagnosis I look at diversity in terms of social class, race, age, gender, ect. Disability is an area that impacts people from all walks of life and I want to make sure that is reflected as accurately as possible.
