Look what I did in school today!
Today we learned about orientation aids. This is a tactile map. The orange represents city blocks, the black area wih the dotted line and cars is a road, and the ladder looking this with the train is railroad tracks. This is all a raised surface for a person with blindness or low vision can use to 'see' how a neighborhood is arranged. Not the best one in the world, but it's a start.
Also today, we started residential travel. We learned how to travel up and down a sidewalk without going in the grass and identifying when you are at the end of a sidewalk. Tomorrow we learn how to walk around the block. We may introduce street crossing. Yikes!
