[nabs-l] Doing Sighted Guide with Blind Students

[roanna bacchus]

Dear Students,

I hope all of you are doing well.  Tomorrow I will be 
volunteering at the East Florida Braille Challenge all day from 
8-00 Am to 4-30 Pm.  The Braille Challenge is sponsored by the 
Braille Institute in Los Angelis, California and regional 
competitions are held each year in all of the fifty states.  I 
have been assigned to be a sighted guide for a group of older 
blind students during this event.  Two other people and I are 
responsible for keeping track of these students and getting them 
around the church.  Since I am totally blind, how do I perform 
the sighted guide technique with these students? Hope to hear 
from you soon.
