[nabs-l] Doing Sighted Guide with Blind Students

[Linson Productions]

First of all, congratulations on doing this awesome task. I would ask them 
before you do set a guide. As many blind people in my experience will want 
to be independent and use their canes. However they take your right on and 
you go a couple of feet in front of them. Let the blind person set the pace 
and just ask them if the way you are walking is okay. They should be able 
to move with the flow of your arm.
