[nabs-l] the use of sighted guide technique

[justin williams]

It's not always about speed, but it is about choice.  Sided guide is not
faster if you have to wait on someone; then, you should have just done it
yourself. Do what is best for the situation, but the ability to be able to
maneuver independently will give you two options instead of one.  I won't
tell you which one to do because it is all about context, but if possible,
give yourself the option to do it on your own.

Jedi, that is what I am thinking.....
It is faster and more effecient at times, but I do not know that it would be
in this situation.  In fact, I think in this situation....if I understand it
correctly.... It seems much less efficient.  I guess I am still unclear
about the situation, which I have asked Kelsey to explain.  But I am
thinking a little might be fine, but too much help in this situation is
going to be very inefficient, for her, and the other person.

highly doubt is the case. You know what you are capable of so why need you
prove it to anyone? Take the arm because you're right, of course it's faster
for everyone!

church in my hometown.  They are on Friday evenings which means my parents
have to wait until rehearsal ends to go down to our camper.  My question is
this: I have always just went sighted guide with my family or friends just
because it is faster for everyone.  However, since I may have to take the
transit sometimes or go with another chorus momber, do you think it is
appropriate to use sighted guide technique with them, whether it be the
transit driver or another person in the group? Or should I arrange for
someone to show me how to get in and out of the chorch independently? If so,
if my mobility instructor cannot do it, how would a family member go about
taking over this role? I used sighted guide with my friends in my college
women's chohus, but I have a feeling that since this group is a community
group, it will be different.  What do you guwiths think?
