i am a writer, activist and inclusion professional. joão was born and grown up as a typical child, he suffered a stroke when he was 2 years and got cerebral palsy. he was the happier, curious boy and liked adrenaline. nothing changed. the dream of skateboarding was an old thing.

the dream was realized by the “skate anima” project (find in instagram), a physiotherapist and a psychologist, both skateboarders, who created the project to realize a patient's dream and never stopped.

i love sports and i love my son, who loves to experience the world and life so dawm much. he's a boy like any other, and this story is about that. what tools are we building so that the world belongs to everyone?

how long will we accept the absurd? kids growing up suffocated by a world that pretends not to see them. places that don’t welcome everyone are disable, ideas are disable, planning, education, design. not people. 1 billion people. 1/7 of the world. inclusion is not a favor.

who created the walker - the structure that allows joão to stand on his skateboard - was ricardo oliveira, skateboarder and atypical father. instagram.com/ricardoporva?i like i said, a lot of information was missing. go viral is insane.

His smile says it all! Kudos to a mom who goes the extra mile to give her son what so many take for granted...💖

A Mom in Brazil -

- with the help of #Skate_Anima made it possible for her son who has cerebral palsy to skateboard. The smile on his face says it all... #InclusionIsNotAFavor

You stated that so well. I don't care how it came about, but that it *did*. People who *could*, *did*. I am most happy hearing João squeal with delight, riding his board...included.
