For the mobility teacher, classroom teacher,
or parent—
Willoughby and Monthei’s
newest practical guide offers over a thousand creative suggestions for teaching
cane travel to preschool-12 students in every possible setting. Together, the
authors have over 50 years of teaching experience. One is sighted, the other
is blind. Their modules cover the standard topics of home, school, community,
and the usual inclement weather problems (wind, fog, ice, rain, etc.), but then
they go beyond these into additional places and skills—the top of the fridge,
under the porch, storm gratings, the cafeteria lunch tray, carrying loads on
the stairs, crossings with school patrol guards, techniques for shopping—with
many tips for safety and notes on “increasing independence as appropriate
for age.”
- “an extremely teacher-friendly book.”
—Dr. Phil Hatlen, Superintendent, Texas School for the
Blind
- “a clear, reliable, practical guide.”
—Joe Cutter, Early Childhood Orientation & Mobility
Specialist, New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired
- “This text not only provides assistance to Orientation
and Mobility Specialists, but also is a useful tool for families, students,
special education teachers, and regular education teachers.”
—Ralph E. Bartley, Ph.D., Superintendent, Kentucky School
for the Blind.
Modular Instruction for Independent Travel
for Students Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired: Preschool Through High School
Module 17
Example 4. Attic with unfinished floor...Poke
your head in there: Even when it is unwise to actually enter an unfinished attic...he
can climb up the ladder...poke his head and upper body into the attic area and
get the smell and “feel” of the attic. He can touch the flooring and
understand why it is unsafe to walk on.
Follow-up: Exploring unfinished areas
in regular buildings helps build flexibility for exploring caves, ancient ruins,
etc., as in the Module, “The Great Outdoors.”
