Diffuser was formed in 1994 on Long Island, NY by singer Tomas Costanza, guitarist Anthony Cangelosi, bassist Lawrence Sullivan, and drummer Billy Alemaghides. The band rose to fame after signing with major label, Hollywood Records. Their first album on that label, titled Injury Loves Melody, featured the Top 20 Billboard hit, “Karma,” which could also be heard on the Mission: Impossible 2 soundtrack. Their second studio album, Making The Grade, featured the songs “I Wonder,” and “Get It On,” which could both also be heard in the movie, Freaky Friday. In addition, “Get It On” was featured on the Outlaw Volleyball video game soundtrack. The band has toured with Hoobastank and the All-American Rejects on the Nokia Unwired Tour, Spitalfield and Silverstein on a US tour, and performed on an international tour through Japan.

Families For Inclusion aims to promote education about autism, neurodiversity, and inclusion in elementary schools, and to assist the process wherever it can. Its goal is for every elementary school classroom in the country to provide a standard, age-appropriate educational program about autism, neurodiversity, and inclusion for their students, staff, and parents, as well as to create a culture of inclusivity, understanding, and belonging for every child in special education or with an IEP. This is accomplished through programs, assemblies, workshops, and grants for schools that embody its mission. Visit FamiliesForInclusion.org for more info.
