Reflection from Sam Drazin Presentation on Disabilities

How did the presentation change your perspective on disabilities? My perspective

changed on disabilities after this presentation because coming from a complete
stranger and hearing his entire life story made me feel proud to be able to hear it,
and learn about his struggles in life, along with many others with very diverse
disabilities.

What did you learn from this presentation?

I learned that conductive hearing loss means you can hear on the inside of your ear
and there is a problem on the outer ear. And sensorineural hearing loss means you
can hear on the outside but have issues on the inside part of your ear.

What are some hardships about living with a disability?

Some hardships about living with a disability is the physical and emotional struggles
you go through everyday with that disability. Some people with disabilities will often
be ignored or bullied.

How can you gain strength from living with a disability?

Someone can gain strength from living with a disability because if one is picked on
about how they look, some people will gain strength from that.

How can you give strength to someone living with a disability?

Treating others the same way you would like to be treated applies with this
question, giving someone strength living with a disability is as simple as giving them
your kindness.
