Well, I'm hardly ever getting lost anymore. Tactile maps don't
help me; what does is repetition.
It's more before that this was happening, but I've improved a lot
more and now can go through whole weeks without getting lost at
all.
But it's February now. When I was starting this school, in
September and October, I got lost a lot more but the problem
areas were fixed.

If you are still getting lost, then an O&M instructor needs to
come work
with you. Do you get lost in some places but not others? You
need to work to
find a constructive solution. Do tactile maps help you any?
Would it help to
write down directions on how to get from one place to another? Is
there a
particular aspect to some parts of your high school that make it
easier to
get lost? Can you describe more about when you get lost? Sorry
for all of
tthe questions; just trying to help.

LOL I really should do that! My aide doesn't follow me around as
much as
he watches where I go.

Does your aide still follow you around? If so, that needs to
stop. By the
time that I was in high school, I only saw my aide at the
beginning of the
day and the end of the day. The next time that someone tells
you not to
read
the Braille on a door, tell them not to read the print on it.

Hi,
I am doing a pretty good job navigating my high-school campus.
I hardly
ever get lost, but I used to more often when I began.
I had a question: is it a big deal when you get lost, but find
your way
COMPLETELY on your own?
I'm emphasizing this because my aide used to always get mad at
me when I
got lost, even if I found my way using my skills. One time he
got upset
because I was checking a room number on a door, but I needed to
know what
the room number was in order to get where I was going. He
treats getting
lost and finding my own way just as badly as getting lost and
needing lots
of help. Is this right?
