Lauren McGee's Case Study - MG

Lauren did a wonderful job digging down deep to find a personal story over Myasthenia Gravis. She found a testimonial on the MG website, found a story she admired, and pursued the girl on Facebook to get on a more personal level. Lauren says the girl (Amanda Jones) was very humble but glad someone was reaching out to her to talk about MG since it isn't widely known about. Amanda hasn't tried occupational therapy but Lauren gave good examples of adaptive technology that could be used for her situation. She has a passion for photography but her MG happens sporadically so she has to cancel on people a lot. Lauren suggested taking pictures of landscapes and nature so she can continue her passion without having to cancel. She also suggested for the use of a tripod or a photography assistant to help her when she is easily fatigued. I thought the tripod was an interesting idea because I had never thought of it as "adaptive equipment", but in the case of Amanda it most definitely could. Overall Lauren did an tremendous job.
