    Hi Jen! Can you make a video about using sign language interpreters and best practices when on Zoom?

    Using assistive technology is an especially difficult problem for those with disability that's not obvious to the public. This population, who I work with as a Relationship Coach, Marriage & Family therapist and Executive Board member of the Invisible Disabilities Association, is in awkward position, as you know. I will also be spreading this webinar around, I appreciate the resource you've given all of us.

    This comment is for Mr Herkert: I am a father like you...and speaking man to man.....you need to stop thinking of this video as a personal stab at you. It is not about you! It is about the tragedy that happened in the past and still happens to others today. Elicia has gotten over it, and has triumphed over mistakes by family and society. She holds no grudges. You sir, need to man-up and accept what happened in the past and leave it in the past. Please open your arms sir and let her back in.

    This is my darling woman who made a digital video about herself and her struggle in her earlier years. I am so proud of her and what she has accomplished in her life so far. To flash forward to now, Elicia drives a Harley to work in the summertime. She works at a non profit agency helping the homeless and disabled to get assistance, and to top it off she has a degree in computer science and fixes computers at work and at home. I am so blessed to have her in my life.
