[Oagdu] Presentations with kids.

[Debra Baker]

I often read a braille book or part of one, usually braille/print with pictures.

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
