CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Some members of the Clemson University community are spending a day learning what it's like to live with a disability.

The school is pairing students with disabilities with members of Clemson's faculty, staff, administration and student leadership. Participants take on their partners' disabilities ranging from visual impairment, hearing impairment, mobility issues and ADHD and do work and go to class under the limitations of that disability.

There's also a screening of a film called "See What I'm Saying: The Deaf Entertainers Documentary." The film follows four deaf entertainers as they attempt to cross over to mainstream audiences.
