Blind basketball player Juliana Hoogland makes hoop (video screenshot)
(GLADWIRE) – High School is most viewed by people as a place that is loud, crazy, and full of all sorts of people. It is also viewed as a major bully zone where a lot of kids with disabilities like hearing loss, blindness, and autism, are bullied dramatically.
This high school, on the other hand, was kind and actually stayed silent when one of their classmates was about to shoot a basketball free throw shot. But why was the whole crowd completely silent and still?
17 year old, Juliana Hoogland, is a student at Zeeland Public Schools in Zeeland, Michigan. She is a basketball player on their girls basketball team and is blind. She is part of the zLinks program that the school offers. It is a program that participates in the Special Olympics Unified Sports.
