Caption: [College Accommodations: Limb Deficiency]
A young man is shown in his college dorm. He’s using his feet
to open drawers and put clothes away.
Narrator: “Last year, for the first time, Greg lived on his
own. He started classes at Seattle Pacific University, moving here from
his parents’ home in Eastern Washington.”
Greg is shown in his classroom. His feet are writing and turning pages
on top of a small desk.
Greg: “For classrooms, the only thing I need is I have a smaller
desk that’s maybe a foot and a half off the ground, kind of slants
at an angle; so I just sit in a normal chair and have that desk just
on the floor, so that’s where I do my writing. That’s the
only adaptation I need in the classroom.”
