‘When I was in grade 1, my mom made a cake the size of a ping pong table and told me I had to invite EVERYONE to my party. From then on it’s been my mission to make sure no one gets left out.’ Alex Dunn @SmartInclusion always with so much energy and insight to share!

Having a disability often means being misunderstood. So it’s massively special when someone comes along and actually understands something. #Developers—this video will help you understand the needs of a Switch Control user. Heartfelt thanks to @Sommer and team! Awesome video!
