The following is a video short I created for the What Can YOU Do? Video Contest hosted by the Campaign for Disability Employment.

Cool. Though I have to admit the first one, “Sue is an employee” made me go, “Hmmmm….not disabled then.” Particularly if she is a teacher.
But thanks for doing something. I think Sue is or could be all of those things, if people saw that Sue was a person. Instead of a person with a disability.
Thanks Elizabeth, that was the effect I was going for.
