My name is Alex Knoll, I'm 13 years old,
and I'm the CEO of Ability App.
I started developing Ability App when I was around nine years old.
I saw a man in a wheelchair and he couldn't open a manual door,
so wondered if there was a resource that he could have used to see
what businesses around his area had automatic doors,
so he could actually access the business.
I wanted the app to be listing when hotels have beds that are
low enough for wheelchair users to actually get into the bed.
And at restaurants, Braille menus,
low enough countertops for people in wheelchairs.
Wheelchair ramps, automatic doors,
all of that will be listed on Ability App.
The fact that I'm helping people,
that's been my main drive in the development of Ability App.
The feeling of helping people, it really is, it's amazing.
I still feel like a normal kid.
I enjoy all of the activities that normal kids enjoy.
I also have this app that I'm developing.
As a young person, to have an experience that I've had,
it's been so amazing.
And the opportunities that have been given have been so incredible.
