The presentation on Wonder was well-focused on disability portrayed in the film,

particularly Treacher Collins Syndrome. The presentation effectively explained TCS, using the

provided article to offer further context for both the film and the discussion. It highlighted the

symptoms and treatment of TCS, and gave specific examples of moments in the film. The

presentation thoroughly discussed the social and personal struggles of individuals with Treacher

Collins Syndrome. Additionally, the presentation acknowledged the struggles of the family

further exploring family dynamics. This helped shed light on how Treacher Collins Syndrome

impacts more than just the individual. For instance, Augie’s mother had to take an extended

break from her thesis to be a full time caregiver to Augie. Via lied about being related to Augie

because she felt the attention was always on him and wanted a moment where it was just about

her. The presentation also emphasized how Augie’s relationships with family members and

peers were shaped by the effects of TCS. The presentation offered an in-depth look at how

Augie navigated school, his interactions with classmates, and how he gradually developed the

confidence to overcome the social and emotional barriers of TCS. It further shed light on the

internal conflicts that many individuals with disabilities face.

The presentation was incredibly enlightening, as it not only provided a deeper

understanding of Treacher Collins Syndrome but also expanded my awareness of the broader

challenges faced by people with disabilities. The discussion allowed me to view the film from

new perspectives. It really showcased that disabilities are not just medical conditions; they

shape a person’s identity and influence relationships.

The reading provided additional information on Augie’s disability. While the film briefly

touched on his disability, the article was more in depth and gave more of a general analysis of

the characteristics and impacts of disabilities.

Overall, the presentation, discussion, and reading were well-focused on the topic of

disability, particularly Treacher Collins Syndrome. The content was well connected to the film

and acknowledged the impacts of Treacher Collins Syndrome on the individual and on family.
