That is so awesome that your school was so accommodating to make your dorm accessible. All schools should do this for all of their students with disabilities.
Hey girl! That's a really lovely room! I wanted to ask you a question hoping it's not rude: how do you take notes in class/study in general? Are you able to write/type very fast or do you have some kind of automatic typer on your computer? I'm really curious about this and if it's interesting enough you could also do a video on it! I'd love to see that❤ good luck with staring college!!
As a autistic perskm It hard. To clean my room When soneone is not putting the trash in the plastic bags It really overwheling If someone wont clean it Grrr really fustered about it Sorry
This is incredible!! I had no idea that colleges made accomodations like this! Absolutely amazing!! You go girl!!! We with disabilities can do anything!!!
Davidson did a wonderful job with your room, which looks great. It’s awesome that the school is so accommodating and welcoming. You are clearly very happy being there. Thanks for the tour. Have fun!
Just a heads up, make sure that if you need accommodations for classes that you remind your professors that they HAVE to follow your accommodations as set by your student accessibility centre. In first year I had some profs fight me on my accommodations and it was incredibly detrimental to being able to participate in the class.
Sarah Todd Hammer I thought it was taken care of for me as well but halfway through the semester some of my profs decided that they were “optional” for them to follow. I hope it doesn’t happen to you but if it does, I would go back to the accommodation department. If they can’t make the prof follow the rules you have to go to your program chair and then they take the issue to the dean.
Yes, I’ve been there. In my case I go to community college so easy enough to drop if needed. Some profs are ignorant of the law. Sometime you need to get the disability center on their behinds.
Love your room and especially your shower. Your excitement is contagious. You seem like a very kind, appreciative, and considerate young lady. I do have one question. Do you have an aide that helps you with things like unloading your backpack, etc., like your friends did in high school or do you feel comfortable asking for help. So glad things are going well.
So happy for you Sarah. Sounds like you have an awesome set up there and a really accommodating school. Best of luck with the rest of the semester and keep us posted about how it’s going.
Your dorm is amazing. I’m so happy for you that they have been so accommodating and gone above and beyond. Will you be able to live in that dorm your whole time at this school? X
what an amazing school!! they really did go above and beyond and that definitely says something. all schools should have at least one or two accessible dorms anyways but I'm so glad they did that for you!
This is incredible! Especially considering that these adaptions (basically remodels) probably weren't cheap! I assume that you would keep the same room for all four years?
Wow, that is so awesome that the college worked with you to meet your needs! And that is the biggest dorm room I’ve ever seen. Enjoy! Hope it’s going well in spite of Covid.
It’s such a lovely room and it’s amazing how accommodating they are. This should be how all schools accommodate students with this amount of work and consideration. Also you say our room do you have a roomamate or is it just you because of COVID? Great informative video
You are super cute and lovely. Keep up the happy life. You are so young, who knows what the future might bring. Medicine and technology is advancing fast so I guess some day you will have all the functions back..if you want to.
Amazing video and wow what an amazing college. I’m a recent amputee (BTK) and I’m trying to make my place adaptive too. Love your positivity. Keep these encouraging videos coming. Thank you. ☺️
Totally awesome that your school made those accommodations for you to make your living in the dorm so much more enjoyable. Good luck in school and have fun. 👍👍🤗🤗😁😁🎉🎉🎊🎊
It’s wonderful when people get things right for a person with disabilities. It’s equally wonderful to see someone I consider a disabilities activist so full of gratitude. Unfortunately some members of our community can be less than grateful at times. I think recreating your shower unit from home is brilliant. I was in my thirties when I went to university and I had no disabilities at the time, I also owned a house about 400 yards from the main university building so I've never lived in student accommodation. I hope you enjoy college every bit as much as I enjoyed university. I’m assuming with your personality and disposition you’re already making friends. I smiled all the way through the video seeing you so happy. May I ask a totally off topic personal question? Do you plait your own hair? If so that’s amazing considering your lack of upper body mobility.
Lovely video. I just lost my 87 yrs old stepmother and I was cheered up by your happy disposition. You always look cute with a braid in your hair. I hope you are staying well and safe. Looking forward to your next video
It's wonderful to see that you are so happy in your dorm room. I'm so pleased all the adaptions were carried out to your exact requirements making it possible for you to be so independent. Your room is lovely! I particularly like the colour which is the same colour as your room at your family home. Now I have forgotten what you called that colour! So I shall have to watch the video again to find out! Any excuse to see how happy you look! I hope you are getting on ok with the person you are sharing with. Now do they get to share that fabulous shower with you or are they sent off to use some other bathroom? Thank you for the wonderful video! And YES I think your room is amazing!
I only just discovered your channel and I love your videos! I’m super happy to hear you are loving college so far and that they are being so accommodating! I was wondering what you will be majoring in?
I loved your room. I have a few questions Do you have a roommate? And if not do only you have your own room or does everyone? And the kitchen area and the bathroom, do only your room has it? Or all of the other ones do too?
I’m about to graduate college this semester and watching this video reminds me of my first couple weeks at college when I was an excited freshman! I hope you have a great time!
hey sarah!!! you are such an inspiration to me!! i do not have a disability but you just show me that you can accomplish anything and to never give up!!! i absolutely love you and your videos! i am always so eager for another video to come out!! thank you so much for being awesome and you have helped me through very tough times. Oh, i also had a quick question! did you happen to get a dorm buddy? thanks so much and keep up the great work!! 🤗🤗

It is the most fantastic room! Wishing you a lovely time. I love the did such a good job.

You look seriously happy. If happiness were a liquid, you´d have to mop the floor all day long😊
So great to see you radiate so much happiness. 😃

I'm glad you are having a good experience at college. Your college is amazing to do that! Hope you have a good first year!

Thank you so much! I don't have an aide; I ask my friends for help when I need it 🤗
Love the room especially the shower. Is your room mate also disabled?
So happy for you Sarah. Sounds like you have an awesome set up there and a really accommodating school. Best of luck with the rest of the semester and keep us posted about how it’s going.
Your dorm is amazing. I’m so happy for you that they have been so accommodating and gone above and beyond. Will you be able to live in that dorm your whole time at this school? X
Right? It is incredible! I won’t be living in the same room all 4 years
what an amazing school!! they really did go above and beyond and that definitely says something. all schools should have at least one or two accessible dorms anyways but I'm so glad they did that for you!
I love it!
I'm so happy that your school cared to make adjustments for you.
May God Bless Your Every Endeavor.🙏
This is incredible! Especially considering that these adaptions (basically remodels) probably weren't cheap! I assume that you would keep the same room for all four years?
Right? It really is! I won’t be keeping the same room all 4 years
Awesome room. Monster sign lol, 👍. Glad you're happy with your dorm room.
Wow - totally inspirational. Yeah team Sarah!!
Wow, that is so awesome that the college worked with you to meet your needs! And that is the biggest dorm room I’ve ever seen. Enjoy! Hope it’s going well in spite of Covid.
Wait you have a kitchen in your room? That’s awesome! Its almost like an apartment it seems
Did they add anything to the fridge or microwave for you ?
Great room x you deserve it♥️
Go Davidson! Go Sarah Todd!
Do you share your room or is it just you?
Very very cool
It’s such a lovely room and it’s amazing how accommodating they are. This should be how all schools accommodate students with this amount of work and consideration. Also you say our room do you have a roomamate or is it just you because of COVID? Great informative video

You are super cute and lovely. Keep up the happy life. You are so young, who knows what the future might bring. Medicine and technology is advancing fast so I guess some day you will have all the functions back..if you want to.

Do you have a roommate? And if not do only you have your own room or does everyone?
And the kitchen area and the bathroom, do only your room has it? Or all of the other ones do too?
Whoever moves into your dorm after you is going to have an amazing shower😂. I’m so happy for you. Good luck in college ☺️
