This article is about a young boy who has Autism. For years he was not comfortable being touched or hugged by anyone but he made an incredible connection the first time he met his service dog. After two long years of waiting for a service dog, the boy and his family flew from Japan to Ohio to meet his service dog for the first time.
This was such a heartwarming article to read about and the video topped it off because it's amazing how a gentle animal can make such a huge impact on this child's life.

This is an article about a former marine who lost his leg and has a prosthetic leg. He recently got a new one and it is now waterproof and has been great for him when it comes to his swimming competitions. It also discusses how amputees need to pay for these out of their own pocket there aren't very many services that can help with the cost. This is not fair for people with disabilities. Why do they have to pay out of their own pocket to be able to walk like the rest of us this should be covered or at least have some funding that can help. We like this article because it shows that not everyone with a disability is disabled. People with disabilities can do things and if they put their mind on it they can make a difference in the world. This article can help educate others and see if they can find a way to get more funding for people with prosthetic limbs.

This talks about how people with a disability after high school don't seem to have the same resources and support programs. So a group of people who have different disabilities made an art studio where they create plays and create art and showcase it for everyone to come in and discover this helps them to feel responsible and apart of a community. We like this article because it shows that if we all work together we can make a difference in our own communities. This also opens the eyes of some companies and other people in the community or realize there isn't a lot of supports out of highschool and what we can all do as a community to make a difference.

This is about sesame street adding a new character to their show who has autism. Her name is Abby and they show her in different episodes. This shows the world that people with exceptionalities aren't different than us and that we can all live in a world where everyone is different. We believe this article is great because this is a very popular show for children and having a character that some children can relate with is great for them. This also shows other children or teaches them about some of their classmates who may have autism. By having this children's show it can help educate them at a younger age and when they get older they can be the ones who are making a difference and realizing that there fellow classmates aren't as different from them.

This article is about a mother who wants to educate children with a disability and police officers. They want to educate the police officers about the different needs some children have and how to handle them. It talks about past experiences with the police who have arrested some children with exceptionalities and some ended up dying because of it. It also explains how someone who was deaf was tazard because he didn't respond to the police officers demands. We believe this article is great because not only do police officers but some other workers in the community should be educated about people it exceptionalities. There has been many things in the news about police officers hurting people with a disability or even some of them die because of the restraints. Having police officers educated about this can help people with a disability feel more safe in their community and they can help educate others about them as well.

This article talks about how people with a disability should be getting paid at least minimum wage. It discusses how they get paid very low incomes and the percentage of people with a disability don't get very many job opportunities. It also discusses how there are very little supports for people with learning disabilities after high school and college. This woman is trying to change to myth about disabilities and try to make their pay and other opportunities just like ours fair. We believe this is a great article because everyday people with a disability either are getting paid less than minimum wage or don't have a job because of their disability. We as society need to change this and understand that they are capable to do jobs and will do a great job. If we as a society change this we can start to include people with a disability and not discriminate them.

This article is about a little boy who has Down Syndrome and his mother sent photos to an agency and they ended up turning him down because of his disability. The mother wanted to change society's views on people with exceptionalities and posted  picture on Facebook explaining what happened. Oshosh messaged the mother and said they would love to have her child be apart of their company and be one of the models for their children's line. We believe this is a great article because it shows the world that people these days are still being discriminated by their disability but if we have people who stand up for them and show them how they have skills just like us it can make a big difference.

This video is about a boy who is nonverbal and everyday at school he delivers the milk to every classroom. UPS was looking for stories to help make a difference in the community and they came across this one. UPS came to the school and made a ups car for the little boy so that when he delivered the milk to the school he would be riding in a new package car that they made him. We think this video is great because UPS was recognizing children with exceptionalities and helping make a difference in the community. By having big companies support children with exceptionalities this can help society realize that they aren't different from us.

This news video is about a young girl with Down Syndrome that talks about how the diagnosis is not scary. She also talks about how she is smart, kind and can do anything she puts her mind to. This who video shows how confidant she is with herself and diagnosis, as well as how she is just like every other kid. We found this video to be very inspiring as it shows the viewers that she does not let her diagnosis define her or hold her back. But she embraces it and lives life to the fullest

This article is about how people with disabilities are not getting equal pay for work due to their diagnosis. Work places are not looking at their persons ability and their dedication to their job. They are focusing solely on their disability and basing their pay off that. This is a big problem, as they are not getting the money they deserve, which makes it harder for them to support themselves and live independently. We believe this article is very important for people to read as it can get people to realize that people with disabilities are getting treated unfair and this needs to be changed.

This article is about how people with disabilities are not getting treated fairly compared to the rest of society. They feel as though they are "second class citizens". It talks about how people who have a disability that do have the ability to live on their own and do things independently, however the owners of the buildings won't make common areas accessible for them which makes it hard for them to move around. We believe this article is important for people to be aware of this so things can change. It is important to make our society accessible for everyone, so everyone can feel included as well as live life as independently as possible.

This article tells the different perspectives and stories of living with a disability. One of the main points that they all had in common was that they would not change their disability as it makes them who they are. They also don’t see themselves as any less able than any other person, as they can do just as much just in a different way. We think this article was great as it showed how they don't have pity on themselves as well as don't want other people to feel bad for them. It also shows that not everyone with a disability hates it and would change themselves, as all the people in this article actually love who they are and wouldn't change a thing. This article gives a great message as it shows their confidence and abilities.

The TV show “Born this way” is about showing a realistic life of people living with Down Syndrome. It is a reality show about their everyday life and the struggles they face as well as the mainstream stuff that we all do. This show was made to let people see a realistic perspective of living with Down Syndrome. We thought that this was a good show as it diminishes unrealistic mindsets people have on living with Down Syndrome. It gets people to realize that people with Down Syndrome are not any different and that they can go through life independently and successfully, as well as face everyday problems that everyone else faces.

This video is about a mother who had a son with Down Syndrome, and when she first found out she was devastated that his life was going to be so hard. Then she realized how lucky she was to have him and started a blog called “nothing down about it” where she talks about her everyday life with her son. This video really spoke to us as the mother is showing how proud she is to have a son with Down Syndrome and she doesn't want people to feel sorry for her or her son as she sees it as a blessing. This is very powerful to see as she is embracing it as well as showing people that he's not any different.

This video is about a boy with severe Autism, whose parents were told to put him in a an institution as specialist said there was no way he could learn to function independently. However, his parents did not give up on him, they did a bunch of research and created their own school for their son Chris, which was one of the first centres of ABA. They also set up their own internship programs for students so they can help teach Chris. We loved this video as it showed their love and passion for Chris. It also showed their resiliency, as they did not give up no matter how hard it was. After all their hard work, there was progress with Chris that people doubted before. This can be the most rewarding and best feeling.

This youtube video is about Chris who started a series called Special Books by Special Kids, where he interviews individuals all over the world with different diagnosis’s to promote awareness and diversity. In these interviews, Chris also shows how these individuals are just like any other child or teenager, they just do things in different ways. We really enjoyed this series as it promoted inclusion which we find very important!

This is a video about children who have Down Syndrome and they discuss the term special needs. They explain how they aren't special and show different things such as wearing armour would make them special.  This talks about the labels that children with exceptionalities face everyday and now we discover the terms that they want to use to define themselves not what society wants to use. We think this is a great article because it shows society that these children aren't special they are just like us and may need more assistance or help but they can do the same things we can just in a different way.

This video shows president Donald Trump mocking a news reporter from the Washington Post who has a disability. Trump was using physical gestures and mocking the reporter with words such as saying “Uh I don’t know what I said, oh I don’t remember”.
We think this video displays a very negative outlook on individuals with exceptionalities and we were more shocked when his audience was laughing at his comments and agreeing with him.

A young girl named Sydney was given a  prosthetic arm from Time Unlimbited that looks like an iron man arm. She was given the power-sthetic by surprise, Time Unlimbited gave it to her for free! We think this is an inspiring video because it made us realize how much we take for granted such as living a healthy lifestyle with no health issues. This young girl was so happy to see that people care about her well being and went out of their way to create happiness for a complete stranger.

A student at Georgetown District High School named Jadine has a difficult time making friends due to her exceptionality, she was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at birth but she wants other teenagers in the community to look past her exceptionality and get to know her. She was taking regular mainstream classes but had struggled making friends. She hopes to continue studying in post-secondary education.
We think society should continue creating awareness of all exceptionalities so every individual can feel a sense of belonging. Society should look past their exceptionality and get to know the person.

In Toronto, Ontario there is a Starbucks manager who employed their first barista named Sam who has Autism. Sam’s confidence is busted out with dance moves while he is brewing coffee for customers. We thought this article/video was amazing! It's great to hear that there are people within our community who also believe in inclusion, you never know what individuals are capable of until you give them a chance.

This video is about a woman who is deaf and used the drive-thru at Starbucks.

This Starbucks is located in St Augustine Florida, the managers have  trained all their employees basic sign language. St Augustine has a large deaf community.
We think this video is a great way of showing inclusion within a community.

This commercial shows a clip of young boys playing basketball in their neighbourhood and there is another young boy who lives next door who uses his wheelchair for mobility. When one of the boys runs over to grab the basketball he notices the boy in a wheelchair and appears to think of a way to include his neighbour so all the boys grab a rolling chair, a tricycle, and a skateboard with a plastic basket on top to sit on. One of the boys runs to his neighbours house, leaves a basketball at the front door and rings the bell, the boy answers the door and sees the basketball and goes to join the other boys playing basket.
We thought this commercial was so heartwarming, it's amazing to see young kids being a leader and stepping up to help others in need and include everyone.
