Exercise 1: Let's meet Quinn
What do we learn about Quinn? Describe his attitude about his education. Discuss Quinn’s situation in relation to the five principles in Lesson 1.
Quinn wants people to think of him as a student who is capable of many things. He likes most subjects, but not math. His attitude about his education is that he is one of many students actively engaged in achievement - he just happens to be blind. He is certainly capable of learning (Principle 1), has many abilities (Principle 2), and wants to be as independent as possible (Principle 3). He describes his Brailler, which is an example of an assistive technology device providing Quinn with specialized instruction (Principle 4). Quinn would probably tell us that he wants to receive specialized instruction in an integrated educational setting (Principle 5).
