Visual Impairment Blog

This was a very interesting experience. I was really scared and nervous to do this activity because I knew it would kind of freak me out. I did not like doing this but I have a huge appreciation and understanding for those who are visually impaired. I got a huge headache and did not like not being able to see what was going on. Even being half blind was really hard for me and made me have to accommodate differently to try and see what was going on. This has really helped me open my eyes to those who are visually impaired. I have a girl in one of my classes who is visually impaired and color blind. She has very thick glasses and has to hold things up super super close to be able to see them. She can not see the PowerPoint most times and is given papers that she can not really even read. She really has a lot of patience and has learned to accommodate and not be afraid to ask others for help. Although this was really hard for me, I really do appreciate it because I am able to understand her better and I am more willing to help her.
