Interviews that are intended to create a more inclusive world.
SBSK started when I was a teacher for students with disabilities. Originally intended to be a book written by my students, SBSK soon grew to be video interviews of disabled people of all ages and diagnoses. Since our beginning in 2015, I have interviewed hundreds of people across the world while providing over $1,300,000 to those featured on this channel through a combination of grants and fundraising.
Starting in 2016, SBSK is now a 501(c)3 organization that seeks to normalize the diversity of the human condition under the pillars of honesty, respect, mindfulness, positivity and collaboration. This multi-media movement supports the acceptance and inclusion of all members of the neurodiverse/disability community regardless of diagnosis, age, race, religion, income, sexual orientation, gender or gender expression.

Sweet ❤

3:00 И не смотря на своё уродство, эти девчушки - лучшие друзья на свете! :)
Wonder if high dose of Adderall and methadone would normalize his behavior 🤔
She's adorable ❤️❤️❤️
stunning girl <33 im amazed by her xx

Thank you Jesus.🙏❤️
God bless you Sweet P. And your Family.❤
I always cry for the kindness
Omg she had me crying and laughing same time I wanna be her friend so bad I'm in love
She loves her dad , what an imagination !
Ha una bocca da mostro
Mamma mia che mostro questa bambina
Ahnananana❤❤❤
She so cute ❤❤
Leave it to capitalist coloniser society to call it a syndrome and not a blessing. Joy is something many of us struggle with. She does not. Perhaps it is everyone else who has a syndrome?
Hi, P! You are incredible! To see your laugh was amazing, as if I could experience your joy, as well. I think that you're just lovely. It was such a pleasure to get to know you a bit.
If only the world could be as Happy, as she is! Long may she stay that way.... And have the support to do so.
Beautiful couple ❤
I wish I had more compassion to show my kids. I just don’t have It in me. I’m not sure what went wrong
Lovely busy parents.
Hi p
The lady at the orphanage must have thought this is her only chance. so glad people fought for her. P is love! :) ❤️
1:52 His look LOL 😂
That’s so cool that she said “Romulus to Romulus” I’ve thought about that a lot. I didn’t know he named himself after the other. Also, history is so cool and important.
She is very aware and conscious of the conversations … sweet that she has a loving family!!❤️
I feel like- when piper is getting excited and shouting, when Chris is asking her sister about why she likes when piper is excited- I feel like piper isn't just acting excited... i think she is singing like chris was.. "Hey!" *CLAP* "Hey!"
You are more than companion as parents are with their child
Como dice la niñita "nosotras tenemos 2 patas y las arañas como 8" me parece tierno que ella misma diga que tienen patas
P, ...RULES!!!!
These 2 adults are amazing individuals. Some people don't even have empathy in my own family. Callous. These people are amazing.
You’re a beautiful young woman P.
She’s so adorable 🥰
She's very bright watching so closely to mom and daddy talk and engaging back. Must be fun watching her learn and use all the new technologies to help communicate.
Youre only hurting boyfriend cause he cant join and hardly get laid and doesnt understand women at all
Oceans of love from Nevada U.S.A, such a wonderful family
him stimming with darius is the greatest thing ever lol
Hes going to stay with you cause youre asian but you cant be black acting like this they interviewed one black woman on this channel that black woman didnt get half the respect this asian got
I could play her games all day and not get tired. Amazing 😄
She looks just like her dad!
I’ve never seen someone radiate so much joy as P. She just glows with it. And such a good sense of humor. I’m so happy she was given a second chance at life. I’d love to be her friend too.
P, I think you're incredible! You're amazingly smart, so sweet & so very cheeky & funny 😊 I had the BIGGEST smile watching you, from the start all the way to the end, when you had me laughing out loud tricking Chris that you didn't know where he was after counting so fantastically 😂
her parents are angels for giving her a warm home. It brings my hope in humanity. There are still some good people out there..
She is literally a princess 👸🏾👸🏾
He’s so beautiful. My heart goes out to this precious child xxxxxxxxxx
Great video. She’s so happy and hilarious. Something about the mom too. Her eyes? She’s so lovely
Lol she's a beautiful Cupid ❤️
P is a bright one! I love her spirit!
