I'm Steven Warner and you're located where the magic happens.

00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:09.100
Right now, we're in the UVA drama department scene shop.

00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:14.380
We build sets, we paint sets, whatever the show entails, we do.

00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:19.700
When I heard about Children's Assistive Technology Services putting on Hallowheels every year.

00:00:19.700 --> 00:00:22.880
Building costumes for children with special needs,

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:25.120
I felt like we needed to be a part of it.

00:00:26.020 --> 00:00:28.100
My kid had a very specific idea,

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.180
She wanted to replicate her grandfather's airboat.

00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:30.680
 

00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:35.240
Lilianna came in and she was so excited. She said the word 'fashion'.

00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.560
And we ended up steering fashion into 'Rockstar Princess.'

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:44.240
So we're building an entire stage for her.

00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.520
We sat down together and sketched things out and talked about it

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.880
and landed on this Peppa Pig themed costume.

00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:53.820
We're so excited, but also nervous,

00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.920
about bringing our costumes to the children.

00:00:59.540 --> 00:01:03.780
We're going to fit our finished costumes onto the wheelchairs,

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:06.960
and then we're gonna set them loose on the downtown mall to go trick or treating.

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.400
Well, we are very excited.

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.060
This is our first time we've ever had a costume made just for you

00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:13.400
like this, isn't it?

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:14.800
Yeah! Yeah, it is.

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:17.400
I like it! I like it too!

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:18.380
 

00:01:18.380 --> 00:01:24.140
Her grandfather has an airboat, and they would go play on the airboat, down in Florida.

00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:27.440
He unfortunately passed away, and so Gabi wanted to pay

00:01:27.580 --> 00:01:29.000
homage, to her grandfather.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:29.500
 

00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:32.540
We were really excited about getting this Peppa Pig car.

00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:34.360
You can see that she loves it.

00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:37.100
I like Peppa Pig!

00:01:40.160 --> 00:01:43.600
It's a chance for our students to actually give back

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:45.780
to a community that's maybe underserved.

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.840
Maybe they can engage with the world, in ways that only they are uniquely able to.

00:01:51.860 --> 00:01:53.860
 

00:01:55.220 --> 00:01:59.380
This year not only is she going to stand out for her disability,

00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:02.240
but she's going to stand out for her ability to fit in.

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:04.540
And that's what's going to make it very exciting for her,

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:06.580
is that they're not going to look at her as being different.

00:02:06.580 --> 00:02:09.380
So this has just been a wonderful, exciting day.

00:02:09.380 --> 00:02:12.140
We feel just like everyone else, don't we?

00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.280
Yeah!

00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:14.780
