Disabilities Blog

        Today I will be writing a blog about our presentations regarding disabilities. I was really interested in this presentation because it allowed me to learn about different disabilities in depth and gain more knowledge about how to help people in these situations. I was also kind of nervous about how I would present my ideas for this project. I wanted to make sure that how or what I said did not come across as offensive to some people and I wanted to make sure the information was accurate. 

       Group 1’s presentation was about mobility, spinal, and head disabilities. They explained what each disability was and they gave examples for each type. They also described how these disabilities affect a person's life and how they can get these types of disabilities. I felt that they did a really good job presenting but I do feel that they should have tried to keep a cohesive theme throughout their powerpoint and that they could have added more pictures or less writing per slide. This could help make it a bit easier for people to understand/view their presentation.
         Group 2 was next to present and their presentation was about visual and hearing disabilities. They
described the disabilities and how people can get these types of disabilities. They also gave a lot of examples for each disability. Although, I felt that they should have tried to make sure that everything fit into the slides well and made sure things did not overlap because it made it hard to read and understand some slides. But overall they did a great job and they helped me learn and understand a lot about visual and hearing disabilities.

Group 3 was next to present. Our presentation was about cognitive, psychological, and invisible disabilities. We started off by breaking up into pairs and picking the chapters we were going to do. Then we split into 3 groups and picked the disability each group was working on. I feel that we split the work very evenly and everyone did their part. We also communicated very well and helped clear up any misunderstandings that may have occurred. We also kept in mind the theme of the presentation and tried to limit the amount of words in each slide to make it easy for the audience to take in. We talked about different examples of each disability, how they affect a person's life, and how people with these disabilities are viewed. Although, I do think we could improve on how quickly we get the presentation done.

Overall I think each group did a great job describing and presenting their project on disabilities in a unique and interesting way. I feel as though I have learned so much through these presentations and they have made me more aware as to how people with these disabilities may feel and how different their lives are from ours. This also helped me understand the importance of learning about others' situations and you can help improve it.

Throughout the time I was to make My Experience Learning about Mental Health Disabilities By Jennifer Fernandez  my portion of the disabilities presentation I was able to make a lot of interesting and useful discoveries. My topic of research was anxiety and depression. I feel like my generation has a lot of anxiety and depression growing up and it's very important for everyone to be informed on how to catch signs of these disabilities and how to help both others and yourself. I'm very glad to have been a part of this presentation to raise awareness for disabilities especially my particular subgroup focused on psychological disabilities. My group consisted of both Amanda and Katie who focused on post-traumatic stress disorders, psychosis, and eating disorders to name a few.   I was able to find out the risks of undiagnosed depression and anxiety which in extreme cases can lead to the loss of a loved one. It's very important to be able to notice signs

Chapter 3, 9, & 10 Presentation Blog

Hello, this blog is going to be focusing on our first presentation in SPC1017. I will basically be giving feedback on my classmate’s presentations and provide some other details about the whole process. To begin, our class was split into three groups and each was assigned a chapter. Each person had to do at least three slides and include a few words with some pictures and graphs that went along with their assigned section. I was nervous in the beginning as this is my first semester in MDC and I have never really presented in front of or worked with people I am not familiar with. However, my nerves went away as soon as I realized that everyone had respect for each other and everyone was very committed to the assignment. Group 1 was assigned chapter 3, Intercultural Communication. They spoke about dominant cultures, co-cultures, and cultural identity and how they all interrelate with each other. They were the first group to present and I was very impressed with their presentation. They

Hey guys welcome back to my blog! Today's topic will be covering the  presentations that took place in SPC1017 this past week. This project/speech was more time consuming and elaborate than the previous chapter 3,9,10 presentations. In my opinion, it was also more interesting and much more useful in the long wrong. Once again for this project we were split up in groups and luckily, we were able to remain in our previous groups for better comfort. The three groups received different topics with group 1 focusing on Mobility, spinal and head disabilities. Group 2 focused on hearing and visual disabilities, and Group 3 did invisible, cognitive, and psychological disabilities. The project components and requirements were to make a PowerPoint and present a speech going over the subtopics, turning in a poster and a brochure.    To start off I would like to say, I think every group did an outstanding job. I surely learned about disabilities, circumstances and treatments I had never heard b
