[nabs-l] a question about getting lost

[vejas]

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?
