Where Hope Grows by Brooke and Jess https://padlet.com/jdionizio/WhereHopeGrows en-us 2016-03-30 18:19:54 UTC 2023-05-19 13:17:27 UTC hello@padlet.com http://www.watsonheadquarters.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Where_Hope_Grows_02.jpg jdionizio https://padlet.com/jdionizio/WhereHopeGrows/wish/109694926 Where Hope Grows is about a baseball player, Calvin Campbell, who ends his baseball career early due to panic attacks when he went to base. As Calvin's life begins to experience downfall after downfall, an unexpected boy comes into his life. This boy is Produce, a young man who suffers from Downs Syndrome, who works at a local grocery store that Calvin shops at. Although the movie is primarily about the struggles of Calvin and his ups and downs, I am focusing on produce, the boy with Down Syndrome and the assistive technologies that he could use to help his every day life. ]]> 2016-05-07 03:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jdionizio/WhereHopeGrows/wish/109694926 Assistive Technology jdionizio https://padlet.com/jdionizio/WhereHopeGrows/wish/109695322 Although Produce is seemingly capable of his every day tasks, there is always some type of assistive technology that could be used to make his communication with the grocery store shoppers more smoothly. 

- Bigger keys on the cashier machine. This would allow for Produce to be able to do his daily job tasks at a more efficient pace, as he won't have cognitive delays with larger print.

- Special markers/scissors for labeling and daily work tasks. Because of Produce's down syndrome, it makes his ability to cut and write a little more difficult. With AT in scissors and writing utensils, Produce will be able to use these resources to better his job abilities.
