Spotlight with CNN Hero David Flink

For today’s episode, we were joined by Eye to Eye’s Chief Empowerment Officer, David Flink. David has been recently named a CNN Hero. CNN Heroes are categorized as everyday people doing extraordinary things to change the world. David has had an incredible journey of experiencing a learning disability himself, and using that to help and connect with other students, ever since he was 18 years old. It was his initial step to reach out and connect with others that started the idea for Eye to Eye. Within this episode he addressed questions such as: what does being the Chief Empowerment Officer of Eye to Eye mean to you and what do you see as some of the next steps in education for students with disabilities?
