00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:04.264
The activity today we're doing
is all part of Team Up, which is

21f018dd-f6f3-4fd5-a715-f7f19434325e-1
00:00:04.264 --> 00:00:07.004
our our company's program to get
our employees involved in the

21f018dd-f6f3-4fd5-a715-f7f19434325e-2
00:00:07.004 --> 00:00:07.440
community.

1b78fff0-d4ed-4337-933b-77ca33eeb375-0
00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:10.559
As part of the activity today,
we took a whole variety of toys

1b78fff0-d4ed-4337-933b-77ca33eeb375-1
00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:13.695
like our Minion friend here and
we had our engineers rewire them

1b78fff0-d4ed-4337-933b-77ca33eeb375-2
00:00:13.695 --> 00:00:16.639
so that a child that might have
different motor capabilities

1b78fff0-d4ed-4337-933b-77ca33eeb375-3
00:00:16.639 --> 00:00:19.727
doesn't have to have fine motor
skills in order to activate the

1b78fff0-d4ed-4337-933b-77ca33eeb375-4
00:00:19.727 --> 00:00:19.920
toy.

bf32eb21-adc2-422f-926a-b5d11b2e6bea-0
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.824
They can now just hit a big
button and watch their minions

bf32eb21-adc2-422f-926a-b5d11b2e6bea-1
00:00:22.824 --> 00:00:23.120
dance.

9ad73207-c712-414d-bd71-39501634f79e-0
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.520
Easter Seals has been around for
105 years.

e90a5a71-89b7-40ed-902b-6ce8a327759d-0
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:33.348
We are the largest provider of
services, supports and programs

e90a5a71-89b7-40ed-902b-6ce8a327759d-1
00:00:33.348 --> 00:00:37.888
that benefit people of all ages
on the spectrum from infancy to

e90a5a71-89b7-40ed-902b-6ce8a327759d-2
00:00:37.888 --> 00:00:41.080
very senior adulthood who have
disabilities.

d24b9fd6-2e28-4aa7-a21e-4320c2b576f4-0
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:44.307
Personally, I have a cousin with
Down syndrome, so just to meet

d24b9fd6-2e28-4aa7-a21e-4320c2b576f4-1
00:00:44.307 --> 00:00:46.760
people that work at these kind
of places was amazing.

70daa552-b693-4114-b7e8-9297dcc77873-0
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.084
To learn that you change even
just buttons and it makes a toy

70daa552-b693-4114-b7e8-9297dcc77873-1
00:00:51.084 --> 00:00:51.880
easier to use.

6a5f7b40-8cda-45a6-b3f3-4696d9d12ee7-0
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.653
I I think naturally, you know,
with us engineers in the room,

6a5f7b40-8cda-45a6-b3f3-4696d9d12ee7-1
00:00:54.653 --> 00:00:55.920
you know, we like to fix things.

d0fc0193-d976-408a-a53e-827a47bf2da2-0
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.800
We like to get involved with
designing things.

bb7863ee-f360-4753-b529-5ad6d5c03f2d-0
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.896
It naturally is something that's
exciting to us and to be able to

bb7863ee-f360-4753-b529-5ad6d5c03f2d-1
00:01:00.896 --> 00:01:03.861
do something that's exciting to
us but at the same time helping

bb7863ee-f360-4753-b529-5ad6d5c03f2d-2
00:01:03.861 --> 00:01:05.760
out others, it's just the
perfect match.

d9416afe-b69f-43da-9359-0b8507b7eae5-0
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.861
But I think so often children
with disabilities do kind of

d9416afe-b69f-43da-9359-0b8507b7eae5-1
00:01:11.861 --> 00:01:13.760
live in the shadows at times.

b0bd8d3a-216d-4a92-802c-3483c33fa6ff-0
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.385
To have a company like Comcast
step forward and say not only do

b0bd8d3a-216d-4a92-802c-3483c33fa6ff-1
00:01:17.385 --> 00:01:20.670
we see you and we see your
needs, but we're going to make

b0bd8d3a-216d-4a92-802c-3483c33fa6ff-2
00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:21.520
it fun for you.

e71c4018-5c2a-4145-afed-fbd7d4db9ce6-0
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.602
I just can't imagine what goes
through their hearts when they

e71c4018-5c2a-4145-afed-fbd7d4db9ce6-1
00:01:24.602 --> 00:01:25.360
receive that toy.

a2fc9eaa-abbc-4d0b-8dea-bc3f5f3144ba-0
00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:26.760
I mean, it's just got to be
amazing.

2bb4be25-c10b-455a-8bdf-65e0c8bd721b-0
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.338
Most meaningful was taking our
client, Michael, and bringing

2bb4be25-c10b-455a-8bdf-65e0c8bd721b-1
00:01:31.338 --> 00:01:32.160
him here today.

b49e80f5-cfa6-401b-bc66-d33175d22924-0
00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:35.900
He's graduated from Comcast
Digital literacy program and he

b49e80f5-cfa6-401b-bc66-d33175d22924-1
00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:36.960
loves technology.

0d4ad40e-0777-4233-beda-7f6d1367755e-0
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.240
He created 2 toys today and he
was so excited and so happy.

4f0b70a3-bf95-4656-ba9e-2858417fec47-0
00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:44.338
And just seeing the joy that
that brought him to be able to

4f0b70a3-bf95-4656-ba9e-2858417fec47-1
00:01:44.338 --> 00:01:47.539
demonstrate the mastery of the
skills that we've been working

4f0b70a3-bf95-4656-ba9e-2858417fec47-2
00:01:47.539 --> 00:01:49.759
on with him was by far my
favorite moment.

cf06c81b-0f42-4e6f-8111-1ad1e53d6816-0
00:01:51.160 --> 00:01:55.253
Toys are sort of a friendship
currency among children with or

cf06c81b-0f42-4e6f-8111-1ad1e53d6816-1
00:01:55.253 --> 00:01:56.640
without disabilities.

f73628c6-2ec4-4757-ad34-742c9fa85cb5-0
00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:00.451
But if a child with a disability
can't utilize a toy, can't play

f73628c6-2ec4-4757-ad34-742c9fa85cb5-1
00:02:00.451 --> 00:02:03.641
with a toy in the same way that
their non disabled counterpart

f73628c6-2ec4-4757-ad34-742c9fa85cb5-2
00:02:03.641 --> 00:02:05.920
is, it's not inclusive, it's not
accessible.

ecb47b69-d170-4f9e-83ad-752ca5b57e40-0
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.200
It doesn't make them feel good.

ccdb5819-8663-418d-b02e-2a357126491f-0
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.120
This will help bridge that gap.

fb91253c-e101-4da5-9c75-1d931666969a-0
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.057
The TPX mission is we're here to
change people's lives and we

fb91253c-e101-4da5-9c75-1d931666969a-1
00:02:14.057 --> 00:02:16.800
build technology and experiences
to do that.

749b4041-a42e-4b39-9365-957079f9f8ab-0
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.049
And that plays so well into what
Easter Seals is all about and

749b4041-a42e-4b39-9365-957079f9f8ab-1
00:02:21.049 --> 00:02:22.440
what today is all about.

5144642f-8e18-492a-98c3-b77261399b48-0
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.360
So thank you so much for being
here.

52f3fc0b-9a4f-4561-b86d-e62529b66051-0
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:25.880
Thank you for doing this.

ae19e04c-f336-4371-96c4-7395e48d8950-0
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.720
Thank you for allowing Easter
Seals to be a part of this.

bd4f42bb-d49a-447e-b255-b064a343515b-0
00:02:29.720 --> 00:02:32.240
And thank you, Comcast, for your
continued support.

cb0f0bbf-eab9-45b1-93fd-4c084cb7788b-0
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.072
It's because of people like you
that this is such a fabulous

cb0f0bbf-eab9-45b1-93fd-4c084cb7788b-1
00:02:35.072 --> 00:02:37.440
company and we are proud to be
partnered with you.

739082e2-a2c8-4d0f-b529-c8b909cc065b-0
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:41.440
Oh.
