<div dir="ltr">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. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 8:10 AM, Deanna Lewis via OAGDU <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:oagdu@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">oagdu@nfbnet.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

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