[nabs-l] a question about getting lost

[Chris Nusbaum]

That needs to stop too! The only time I see my aid anymore is at 
the beginning of the day and in classes like science (my TVI 
works with me in math) when we're doing something visual which 
she needs to describe or help me with the tactile graphics.  I do 
admit, tactile graphics are not my strong suit; not even close! 
But I'm getting better with them.  I have been very lucky to have 
an aid who has my back while also wanting me to be independent 
and doing whatever she can to help me become
more independent.  She has gradually stepped back from
assisting me in school, to the point that now her main role is 
that of Braille transcriber.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

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?
