The papers that I have selcted
for this section of my prortfolio are here because I think they best represent my perpective on
disability and the program rehabilitation services from the time that I
have been a student at UMF.
Spend 72 hours in a wheelchair! 
This was assigned in my Introduction to Disabilities Class.
For this assigment we were suppose to do exactly what we did
everyday for three days. The only difference was that we had to do it
in a wheelchair. This experience showed me that it can be very
challenging to get around in a wheelchair, but if you put your mind to it you can pretty much do
anything. This was definately a life changing experience.
Adapted Device 
This was assigned in my Therapeatic Recreation class. In this
assignment we were asked to make an adaptive device that would help a
person with a disability. We had to choose a specific population
that the device would work for I chose to create something for
people who are visually impaired. I decided to create a
card game called UNO.
