The narrator doesn't utilize people first language, which gets me a little bit, but the message behind the video shows many different things. It is important to keep an open mind and also the amazing possibilities when you find devices that work for children. I also think that it breaks down a lot of barriers for people with disabilities, because, like it was said in the video, people think they are "stupid" or will never have the ability to do certain things. This breaks that notion for many people, and shows that although this girl in particular, and other people who have disabilities; they are people too, and have immense feelings, thoughts, and wants just like every other human out there, with or without a disability.
