CAS Project – AMK Minds final reflection

After going through multiple rounds of action and doing self reflection within these sessions my project has now come to an end. Over the past few months this project has allowed me to expand as both a leader and collaborator. Although at times there were doubts as to whether we were doing the right thing especially from both my co-chair and I we overcame this through making sure that we maintained as much contact as feasibly possible with both our clients students and teachers in our school. One of the main issues that we asked ourselves was if it was ethical for us to create videos not knowing whether it was beneficial for our clients. Although we try to have as much communication as possible our main client of the service was not as communicative as we would have liked, making us doubt whether these videos were beneficial.This meant that we had to go through our school service department to try and reach our partners. As this was successful our perseverance and want for getting feedback allowed us to get that, which helped us to produce better videos for our clients. All of these issues helped me to grow skills that I would not have gotten in another activity or creativity.

Below I have attached an image of the questions that are new students asked are both Isaac and us. As a result of doing the service over the past three years and making it my project during CAS I was able to have an increased awareness on the issue of people living with intellectual disabilities in Singapore and globally. Although this was not an easy process it allowed me to grow into the leadership role making sure that everyone had their aims fulfilled.
