Inciting incident: meeting the other disabled teens at the hospital--being thrown together at hospital. Goal: Its vague--should be more concrete, right? Obstacles: disability, ? I'm wondering how this works for a group of people who may have differing goals, etc? I would want to read this!

For the rest, we need to know what happens in the story and not just the lesson learned. Is there a fire? Are they locked in a room?
