[Oagdu] Presentations with kids.

[Marianne Denning]

I talk about all aspects of my life. I will talk about marking my stove and
other appliances so I can use them. I also talk about how the god helps me
cross streets and the dog's limitations. I always point out that I am the
one in charge of where we go and what we do. I talk about matching clothes,
personal care... I, like Debbie, read a braille book and at the end of the
talk I let the children pet the dog if they want to do that. I know that
may be different for other presenters.
