"If we start to think of disability as being part of us, as something that is part of The Human Experience, then the thought shifts away from accommodating the individual to building the world to be inclusive from the very beginning." - @CSoukupCSD #SXSW #BeingHuman

"There are no broken humans, only broken ideas about humans." - @CSoukupCSD #SXSW #BeingHuman

"We have to have authentic representation in the room from the disability community, people who are part of the population that is being supported by that technology... the product will be stronger and we will all be better for that." - @CSoukupCSD #SXSW #BeingHuman

"The sky is the limit when it comes to the potential applications of communications technology for Deaf people, for people with disabilities, and we continue to innovate and to find ways to build strength and build bridges." - @CSoukupCSD #SXSW #BeingHuman

"When you think of calling something 'normal,' it is just an average of many millions of variations... everyone has value, every life has value, every person has something unique to offer." - @CSoukupCSD #SXSW #BeingHuman

"Our goal and part of our work as an organization has been to remove the stigma of disability... it's not an anomaly. It's not something that is the exception." - @CSoukupCSD #SXSW #BeingHuman
