In A Lego Arm. Rushton features David Aguilar who builds his own prosthetic out of Legos.
He gives the following prompts to accompany this video:
“What makes you different? Is it something others can see? If it’s something you feel you need to deal with in some creative way, how do you do so?
Finally, is anyone completely normal? What does “normal” even mean?”
I loved this video because many students I know have special needs. Many have spent a lot of time trying to fit in and be “normal.” I spend a lot of time getting them to believe that it is okay to be special. This boy found a need to use his interests to better his quality of life. He didn’t whine or use his difference as a crutch. He knew what he needed and set out to find a way to make it happen. This video would be great to show students with special needs!
Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
