[Oagdu] Presentations with kids.

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi all,
The list has been so quiet, so I'd like to start a new conversation...
I want to ask you all what you cover when giving a presentation about blindness and guide dogs? I know that it varies depending on the age group of the kids, so can you also explain how you vary it up?
I am going to be doing a few presentations for first graders, so I'm looking for ways to improve on what I typically cover. Thoughts and ideas are most welcome!
Here's what I usually cover:
A bit about me and my vision
What a guide dog does and does not do
The places we go to
A bit about the training
The importance of not distracting the dog while they are working. And always asking before they pet any dog.
I also like to show kids how to fold money and identify coins. I also like to show some of the items I use on a daily basis, like the iBill or Victor Stream.
Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas.
Deanna and Mambo
