“How I work with people around me changed, personally, in a good way. On how I am more confident in working with other people. I am more open in speaking with others as I know I can hear them better. As compared to before, I’d rather stay quiet as I know I would always have a hard time hearing them and would feel embarrassed on asking them to keep repeating what they said.”
“I have been provided with a tool so that I do not have to ask someone every single day so I can have my tea or water,” Marie says. “It may seem like a small thing, but it’s a huge gift. You won’t understand until you need it.”
“These accommodations have helped me be an active, informed, and safe co-worker. I can hear everything my clients, co-workers, and other service workers are telling me. I am no longer frustrating clients by not hearing them. I am no longer missing vital information.”
