<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The list has been so quiet, so I’d like to start a new conversation…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s what I usually cover:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A bit about me and my vision<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What a guide dog does and does not do<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The places we go to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A bit about the training<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The importance of not distracting the dog while they are working. And always asking before they pet any dog.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deanna and Mambo<o:p></o:p></p>
