This video is trying to help children with disabilities by showing them that there are technological ways of help and that they should know about them starting at a young age. The video shows Susanna Martini, who has cerebral palsy (physical development disability). She uses a wheelchair to get around and uses voice activated software to complete assignments. Also, Vishal Saraiya uses an on screen keyboard to type, print, and surf the web in school. Another adolescent, Lukas Bratcher, has arthrogryposis multiplex congenital which means that he doesn’t have some muscles throughout his arms. He enjoys playing the horn in his school band so while blowing into his horn, he pushes up, down, or sideways on a joystick in order to trigger solenoids to operate the certain valve.
