3.3 Lees die оnderstааnde gevаllestudie en beantwооrd die vrae. Susan is 'n parapleeg as gevolg van 'n motorongeluk. Sy is 17 jaar oud en in graad 11. Susan is vasbeslote om nie toe te laat dat haar gestremdheid met haar lewe inmeng nie, so sy doen alles moontlik om 'n aktiewe lewe te lei. Sy was voor die ongeluk 'n goeie netbalspeler, so het sy nou Rolstoel-netbal begin speel. Sy geniet dit om sportgeleenthede op TV te kyk, en oor naweke kuier sy saam met haar vriende. Aangesien sy ook baie goed is met teken, verdien sy sakgeld deur mense met grafiese ontwerp te help en moet sy soms ekstra netjies aantrek wanneer sy haar kliënte sien.
