[nagdu] follow Command

[Stephanie]

I too am hearing impaired so understand your issues. I go sighted guide sometimes as I cant be sure Gypsy is following, although she mostly does.

Any background noise whatsoever and I can't hear. I would be heeling her a lot otherwise. When I'm in school and living on my campus it's a different story. I know the area well. i also have friends who absolutely cannot give directions. When we go to convention I cannot hear someone if they are even 2 feet away. This means I can't always give hg additional direcnames but when I can hear that's what I do but even then she really doesn't always get the concept I don't think. She follows when I can hear not when I can't. Even if it's someone familiar.

It isn't something that I do tons of, following.  They don't really guide when following, because they tend to just start looking at the person they're following, which is why giving them commands is important.  Then they still focus on you, and not just the person they're following.    Peace,    Debby and Nova
