This week I
participated in the stuttering simulation. I was preparing all week for this
and practicing with my roommates. I felt bad and like I was making fun of
people who have this, but I was able to experience some of the emotions that
are felt when trying to talk to people. I used the stutter while calling
FatCats about movie times and again when I went to pick up my ticket. Both
encounters, the people were respectful, but tried to put words in my mouth and
weren’t as patient as I hoped. I could’ve stopped the act whenever, but I
wanted to get my sentence out so I kept up with it and thanked them afterwards
for helping me out.
I also watched the study guide video for the test and learned a lot more about each of the disabilities. I didn't do as well as I hope on the test. But my grade, doesn't reflect the amount of information that I learned from this video.
I also worked with my group to finish our last group project on visual impairments and learned how to accommodate for children with this disability.
