Here’s a video my friend Andrew Pennington, a student at the Washington State School for the Blind made:
Here is a some more information about my recent experience with Andrew while teaching at Clark College that was originally shared on Facebook:
What a wonderful day it has been. My job shadow student from the Washington State School for the Blind spent the day working with me on class prep, code examples, a tour of the campus and then spent 2 hours in my PHP class. The students in the PHP class made him feel part of the class. He also shared with the class his plans for becoming a programmer and his plans to attend WSU. He was also very witty, which for those of you who know my PHP students, fit in perfectly
Another thing that truly struck a chord with me was that he has the same visual acuity as I do. Throughout the day I kept flashing back to myself at his age.
Again, what an awesome experience it was to host him at Clark College — Vancouver, Washington today.
