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.

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.

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.
