My+Experience

​ = = ==While I was doing my service learning hours that was required for one of my classes, I met a girl named Emilie that had a learning disability. She was diagnosed with ADD, which stands for Attention Deficit Disorder. I knew that Emilie had a disability because of her actions. She couldn't ever stay still, she always had to be doing something. Her attention span was very short, in the middle of a group assignment, she was talking about the topic of the assignment, and then she started talking about a show she watched the night before with her mother, in the middle of the conversation. She couldn't ever seem to focus on one thing at a time. The teacher would give me students work to grade such homework and tests, and I would noticed that Emilie would start the homework but didn't finish it and on her tests, she would draw little pictures of hearts and butterflies on the side of the paper. There were different times when I was grading the papers there will be no name on the paper, and when I asked the teacher who paper it was, she already knew it was Emilie's work. ==
