Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.69,0:02:38.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if something’s going to help you\Nbe able to complete a task,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.29,0:03:51.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when they don't\Nnecessarily want to be.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.18,0:03:55.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why do we need to fix everyone\Nand fix everything?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.93,0:04:00.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I think it's just up to\Nthe person themselves and
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.80,0:04:04.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if they want you know certain parts\Nof their disabilities to be not

Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.82,0:04:11.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I don't think it\Nshould be forced upon anyone
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.60,0:04:12.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that societal pressure
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.82,0:04:15.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,shouldn't be, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.16,0:04:18.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have to do this\Nbecause it's available.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.71,0:04:26.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I think like the\Ndifferences between us
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.80,0:04:30.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though if it's like\Ndisability or not.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.76,0:04:39.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we should be proud\Nof that I think.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.21,0:04:58.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because the best way to\Nmake things more accessible
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.44,0:05:02.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to include people with disabilities\Nin the creation process.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.31,0:05:37.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to better their ability to\Nget around in the world but then
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.93,0:05:41.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we also have to be sure that we're not\Nassuming that they want this technology
