Mrs. Roxann Buller, my O&M Instructor, uses Wikki sticks to teach cane
travel concepts to collegians, and to adults.

I don't recall age being a determining factor if an accommodation is
adequate, appropriate or useful in the IDEA, anywhere...geez Debby these
people are a real pill. I am thinking of you everyday!

We thought of that one. The answer from school was that's she's "too old"
for Wikki stiks and such. grrr! I'm hoping if we solve this battle for B we
won't have to face it yet again when Winona gets there.

Use of wiki sticks to create shapes, angles etc.. is good to aid in their
understand and to complete homework

We have a blind friend struggling with 10th grade geometry. Any suggestions
on what they can do other than "practice the Brailled copies we send home"?
There's bound to be some hands on something out there, isn't there?

Any suggestions for what has worked for your kids?
And yes, I'm taking notes for when Winona hits that in a few years!

Thanks!
