For Sady, this means she can get whatever job she wants including cinematography and she cannot be turned down because of her disability. This is big for those like Sady because they have to be seen for what they can do and their talents rather than their disabilities.

This allowed for parents to enroll their child in a school near them and be certain that their child will receive the education they need. For those like Sady, this allowed her access to an education like the rest of us who went to a public school that received federal funds.

This allowed for state funding for "Tech Act" which funds training centers to help those with disabilities find their full potential using technology. For Sady, this meant if she wanted to get some computer training, she could find it in one of the training centers. This is something important because it means that children can familiarize with technology from a young age and even at an older age.

This is something impactful because this means they have access to get on public transportation and go into building without having to put their lives at risk. We have seen such things like handicap parking, rails on stairways, elevators, ramps and even doors that open with sensors. For Sady, this is something that facilitates her life such that she was able to get on the TedTalk stage along with her special chair.

Although teachers did not have any idea of Sady's condition, they continued their online course and saw her work rather than her persona. I find this fascinating because she was able to keep up with the curriculum along with other students. For me this supports the idea that with the right access to technology, children and everyone with a disability will be able to not only express themselves but be independent.

As for assistive technology service it defines it as any service being directly provided to an individual with disabilities to use an assistive technology device. For Sady like many others, she had to be taught to use her chair so she can effectively navigate in her own and well as the device she pressed to speak. This act also defined the term "Child with Disability" as an intellectual that has some type of impairment to communicate, move around on their own as well as neurological and brain injuries that affect their learning or motor skills that.
