When Shylee went to Disneyworld with her family she made it especially excited because she was going to meet the characters in the movies. I knew about them because I had seen them on TV, although I had never heard them. I was going to see that fantasy world ready to have fun, although aware that I couldn't talk to them, and they couldn't talk to her.
However, when I least expected it, Tinker Bell started addressing her with sign language, and the surprise was capital.
Being able to feel one more
So it seemed like a magical place. A place where also could be one more girl. A place with people who could understand him and whom he could "hear".
And is that the parents of Shylee They are also deaf, and have grown up in a world where they have had to adapt to forced marches and do what is possible and impossible to make themselves understood. A world that with small gestures can change to be more inclusive, as in the girl's school, where she can already be one more.
In Disney more and more workers know the sign language
And this is great news: those responsible for the Disney theme parks thought that it was not only important to know different languages to be able to address the tourists who arrive to meet them, but also know sign language, for all those deaf children who would also like to talk to them, and to make them feel like others.
Therefore Disney He decided to invite Shylee's family back to his park and make a video to explain his story, and to show that not only Tinkerbell speaks in sign language, but also Minnie:
Don't you think it's great news? You can talk a lot about Disney, good and bad, but they are right when they do their best to achieve a smile of those children who, for whatever reason, have it a little more difficult.
