  • I thought that I was the only one that found the term "differently abled" to be offensive. The term insults my intelligence, among other things.

  • I liked it and I liked the playful font and the blues.

  • Thank you so much for making this video!

  • Great video, lots of good stuff in there! It needs captions AND video discriptions, and I am unsure of showing the awesome dude who can go up and down the steps. The vast majority of wheelchair users can't do that, and in places where there is no ADA (like Canada) that kind of thing is sometimes used as an excuse not to put in a ramp. I've been told..."What, Mr. Super Para can do that, so you should have no problem!"

  • This is a good lesson on the "how to interact" part. But for language, they only gave one "correct" term: wheelchair user. I would like to find a list of the correct terms for all kinds of abilities. From this video I can't figure out what would be the preferred term for someone who is blind or deaf or has other conditions, and even for "able-bodied," because saying that implies that others are NOT able-bodied.

  • very good video... but in germany we could just see it if we set another proxy in our browser... for most people it is impossible :( but there are so much people who have to see that, because sometimes it seems like nobody knows how to handle or to speak wit a disABLED person...

  • Also you should have the blind girl in it more. Mobility issues are not the only ones people need education about.

  • Tsk, this needs captions. You seriously made a video about disability without captions?

  • This ROCKS. Can't wait to show it to my 8 year old daughter!!

  • I want to share this with my coworkers and with my friends. Many of my friends and coworkers are deaf. Wish there was closed-captioning on the video.
