[nagdu] mobility independence question

[Nicole Torcolini]

Okay, what is "very well"? What about it do you not do well? Do you have
trouble distinguishing the traffic?

Hi,
What I ment by lights are a problem is that:  I don't cross streets that
have traffic lights very well.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders

Hi,

Your mobility instructor read over what report?  Also, as someone else 
asked, what do you mean that lights are a problem?

If your mobility instructor were doing her job she would be addressing, or 
have addressed issues of you working with traffic flow.  As far as going 
into buildings and needing assistance in getting to the right bus this is 
vague at best.

It sounds to me as if your instructor needs to stop making up 
classifications like "semi independent" and begin teaching you real mobility

skills.


Best,


Michael Hingson

Hi,
I have a question:  My mobility instructer read over my report and she said 
that I'm a semiindependent.
The report said that I can successfully cross at stopsigns.
Lights are a  problem for me.
Will a guide dog school except some one who is semi-independent?> The report

did say that I use a lot of assistance with getting in to buildings 
especially the bus stations and getting to the right bus numbers.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders
