0:00:00.358 --> 0:00:01.635
You know, what I'm hoping to hear,

0:00:01.635 --> 0:00:02.887
not specifically from the panel,

0:00:02.887 --> 0:00:04.635
is some of the reporting methods

0:00:04.635 --> 0:00:05.722
that have been around for years

0:00:05.722 --> 0:00:07.110
that have been still using some

0:00:07.110 --> 0:00:08.809
antiquated old language that

0:00:08.809 --> 0:00:10.506
dates back to, you know,

0:00:10.506 --> 0:00:11.778
prior to World War II.

0:00:11.778 --> 0:00:13.069
And words do matter

0:00:13.069 --> 0:00:14.179
when you're starting to report,

0:00:14.179 --> 0:00:15.832
and you're using words again,

0:00:15.832 --> 0:00:16.579
like I said earlier,

0:00:16.579 --> 0:00:18.002
that they're antiquated

0:00:18.002 --> 0:00:18.758
and out of date,

0:00:18.758 --> 0:00:20.868
and it really does kill

0:00:20.868 --> 0:00:21.722
the message that you're

0:00:21.722 --> 0:00:22.692
trying to send.

0:00:22.692 --> 0:00:24.254
You might have a beautiful piece,

0:00:24.254 --> 0:00:25.193
but when you start to use

0:00:25.193 --> 0:00:26.207
some language that absolutely

0:00:26.207 --> 0:00:28.062
makes zero sense to the

0:00:28.062 --> 0:00:29.137
population that's out there

0:00:29.137 --> 0:00:29.962
that are reading it,

0:00:29.962 --> 0:00:32.038
you know, your message is lost.

0:00:32.038 --> 0:00:33.209
Still, there's an equitable

0:00:33.209 --> 0:00:34.027
issue that's still been

0:00:34.027 --> 0:00:36.060
around since 1975, and then

0:00:36.060 --> 0:00:37.240
before that as well,

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.006
too often you see that we're

0:00:39.006 --> 0:00:39.987
not including people

0:00:39.987 --> 0:00:40.980
with disabilities.

0:00:40.980 --> 0:00:42.854
For example, in employment, right?

0:00:42.854 --> 0:00:44.761
You have those folks who might

0:00:44.761 --> 0:00:46.225
have mental health concerns

0:00:46.225 --> 0:00:47.289
are actually...

0:00:47.289 --> 0:00:48.400
that aren’t part of

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:49.964
a waivered system are...

0:00:49.964 --> 0:00:51.494
85% of them are unemployed.

0:00:51.494 --> 0:00:52.915
Hopefully by exposing

0:00:52.915 --> 0:00:54.504
some of the issues that we see

0:00:54.504 --> 0:00:55.970
throughout our system,

0:00:55.970 --> 0:00:57.351
that we can start exposing

0:00:57.351 --> 0:00:58.935
some equitable concerns

0:00:58.935 --> 0:01:00.091
that we've had for years,

0:01:00.091 --> 0:01:01.078
and that we continually have

0:01:01.078 --> 0:01:02.452
to this day.
