On Monday I shadowed an eleven years

old girl called Jerri . She has visual

problems. She is very independent and

very self-confident. I was very surprised

and impressed that she could do the

same things that I do without any help.

On Tuesday I was in the Art-

department the whole day.

On Wednesday I shadowed a thirteen

years old boy called James Gavin. He

has visual problems, too.

On Thursday I was with Caroline in PE

coped despite their disabilities.
