"I think it’s massively important for children to see diversity in the toy box, for disabled children to see themselves represented positively. It’s very affirming for them to see that they can be a fairy, they can be a wizard in a wheelchair, and all that kind of fun and possibility is open to them as well, and it’s also really important for children without disabilities, to see disability as a normal, fun thing, it’s not just something that exists in hospital or medical settings, it exists everywhere, and its time that thee toy manufacturers started to take note and include disabled children in their products."
