April 16, 2016 is the date I started my service learning hours with Pricilla she was diagnose with autism after she was involved in a car accident at the age of only two week. Pricilla is now 23 and has one brother and two sisters, who are smaller than her. My service learning location was at Grauwyler Park, which is located in Dallas, Texas near the Dallas Love Field airport. I have many enjoyable experiences with Pricilla and her family. One memorable experience was interacting with Pricilla and her family we played small mini games like, soccer, tag, kickball, basketball, and many more games, which they loved.

In addition, another negative experience I had with Pricilla was, there were some kids popping fireworks and Pricilla started freaking out.

One thing I tried to change throughout my service learning experience was Pricilla’s teamwork when we played team games, because she didn’t like sharing the ball, nor the equipment. I tried to correct not only Pricilla’s technique in how to properly hit a soccer ball, but her entire family. I decided to make this changes because I thought it would be beneficial not only for Pricilla, but for the flow of the game. One example on how I would work with people with disabilities would be learning in advance what type of disability they have and special needs they might require. I would also have modifications ready for the types of activities I would have them due. In the future I would like to improve there way of living for example, teaching them physical activities, which will help to improve there health. The most challenging aspect of the learning experience for me was getting started, I didn’t really know how to start and how to make activities for Pricilla and her family that weren’t going to make them
