#BeTheChange with Tyson Dever

My name is Tyson Dever, and I have been working with YTS for several years as a speaker, and now as a team member. In 2005, I was involved in a car crash with a distracted driver, that left me paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of my life. In this series I share details of my story, as well as risk factors associated with distracted driving. Teachers and students we invite you to join in on this series, and be sure to leave us some feedback and/or any ideas you may want to see covered. As always, we challenge you to #BeTheChange!

Watch for new videos and subscribe to the #BeTheChange YouTube playlist to be notified when new videos are uploaded.
