Feedback Having the opportunity to be involved in this project where we were able to raise awareness of what is possible and the importance of community for our son Reece diagnosed with an Intellectual disability and Autism, really shone through with the online video ‘One of the Team’. For my husband Craig and I to be sponsored to attend the Online Video Awards night was an amazing experience we will never forget. To see our son up on the big screen and for the video and its message to be in a forum where it was valued, meant a lot to us being shortlisted into the finals, ‘absolutely fantastic’. It was such a positive experience and even though the video wasn’t a winner at the OVA it was for us and still is as the video is continually used to show what is possible with persistence, commitment, involvement, inclusion and wonderful spirit of all involved. Thank you Phil and Beyond Empathy team, it really was so wonderful to be involved and it still supports us today in spreading the inclusive message of the importance of community & friendship!
