In her talk, Ana Sofia Brito asks teachers and administrators to consider accommodating students with invisible disabilities.
Ana Sofia is in sixth grade and has been attending Saint Andrew’s school since the second semester of second grade. She’s originally from Brazil and moved to Florida four years ago, and she is still learning new things around her. You will usually find her listening to music, drawing, reading Harry Potter, and FaceTiming her friends during her free time. After school, she is usually not very busy unless it’s Girl Scout Cookie season. She also enjoys the theatrical and acting world as she partakes in the school musical every year. She joined TED-Ed to spread her word about the injustice of a lack of accommodations for students who have sensory sensitivities, a topic that may not be well understood but is one that she knows very well. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
