Eye Opening Observations

After the hour and half hours of field work I participated in, I was really able to notice a lot about how crucial it is for humans to be able to be literate in order to function and survive in life. Being literate doesn’t mean being able to perform “normally”, rather being able to have access to tools that can aid people with significant disabilities. People who may have visual or hearing impairments are able to communicate with others and be literate when they have the appropriate accommodations. Too often, people who are classified as “different” are shunned away and thought of as unable or stupid, when in fact they are quite capable of doing just as much as those who may not have a disability.
