Disabilities Presentation Reflection

       Following our previous presentation, which was about communication, we were given our second presentation, which was about disabilities. We stayed in the same three groups that we were in for the first presentation. The professor gave us two weeks to prepare a presentation, a study guide, an agenda, a brochure, and a poster. The purpose of this presentation was so that it can be used by Miami Dade College for Disability Awareness month. Group 1 was in charge of talking about mobility and physical impairment, spinal cord, and brain disabilities. Group 2 talked about vision, hearing, cognitive or learning disabilities. Then group 3 talked about psychological disorders and invisible disabilities. 

        

       For this project, I was in the same group as the previous presentation, which was group 1. In total, the group had eleven people. There were 3 main topics and 8 chapters: 7-11 was Mobility and Physical impairments, 12-13 was Spinal cord, and chapter 14 was Brain. The topic I ended up choosing was mobility and physical impairments. The chapter I chose to do my presentation on was chapter 9, which was communicating in groups. At first, I was a little lost because I was not sure what to do, but I got help from my classmates. Everything was put together last minute, so gathering information and completing the assignment felt rushed. First thing I did was complete the study guide. I read my chapter and I took it from there; I included important definitions and facts that I thought were essential to know. After that, I went on to do my research for my presentation. I had to do my research on the symptoms of mobility and physical impairment disabilities. On my power point, I listed the symptoms of mobility and physical impairments and included a chart of the symptoms as a visual. At the end of my presentation, I explained how having a mobility or physical impairment disability can affect one's ability to communicate in groups. 

        Group 2 had to do their presentation on vision, hearing and cognitive or learning disabilities. I believe that they're presentation was good and presentable. They had sufficient information but they could've had more visuals. The group made sure to relate the disabilities to their chapters, which was good. They also interviewed individuals with these disabilities. The presentation was good overall. 

        Group 3 talked about psychological disorders and invisible disabilities. I think that this type of disability is very common amongst society. I am very familiar with psychological disorders and invisible disabilities because I know people that suffer from it. The group did a great job explaining how this disability affects a lot of people. This group also did an interview and with an individual. The power point provided a lot of good information and some visuals. 

       I feel like all the groups did a great job. With everything that is going on and classes being online, everyone is making the best of it.
