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.
