From the five different booths we went to, the experiences gained from each respective booth reflected on the different motor disorders. Although some of the booth activities were a challenge, especially Group 5's activity which involved the button of the shirt, it was interesting to experience what an individual with motor disorder undergoes in terms of their daily task.

All the different booths portrayed the different difficulties faced by individuals with motor disorders, and it gave us an invaluable insight on how their lifestyles and daily activities are affected. We had fun trying out the activities, but reflecting on it we feel grateful and realise we have been taking our abilities for granted because it is our "normal", and that people living with these disabilities are strong as they try to overcome their difficulties.

As a group, reflecting on our experience with the simulation activities, we found that they really put our motor skills and problem-solving abilities to the test. We tackled challenges from delicate tasks like using chopsticks to balancing objects. While we definitely hit some frustrating moments, especially with the more difficult tasks, we also had a lot of fun and learned a ton about working together. Overall, it was a valuable experience that taught us a lot about resilience, communication, and the importance of continuous learning in all aspects of life.

It was an interesting and insightful tutorial, which provided us with a better understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with motor disorders in their daily lives through the simulation activities. Our group's simulation activity involved using chopsticks to pick up beads and irregular stones, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals with fine motor difficulties in everyday tasks. Other group activities included wearing multiple layers of gloves and cooperating with each other to button a shirt, writing words backwards, and cutting bread with limited hand movement. These activities demonstrated the cognitive and motor coordination challenges associated with verbal tics experienced by individuals with motor disorders. Overall, these activities fostered empathy and a deeper understanding of the difficulties encountered by individuals with motor disorders

It was an interesting session of participating in different types of simulation activities to understand the challenges that a person with motor disorder would go through in a daily basis. Just doing it for a few minutes was quite tough. We can’t imagine how individuals with motor disorder have the strength and willpower to tackle the challenges. More respect and empathy has grown for those who are going through this. Nevertheless, it was eye opening to participate in such activities and understand the difficulties in person rather than just reading the information.
