[Pibe-division] Fire drills and sighted guide

[Kristen J Sims]

you are not crazy! Case in point, at every state convention I have ever been to, somebody trips the fire alarm. There wouldn't be enough sighted people in the building to get all the blind people out if sighted guide were the only way!! lol.

ARRGH! Am I really crazy for believing that a blind high schooler (11th grade) should (1) have the right to decline sighted guide for emergency drills and (2) be taught independence skills BEFORE she graduates so that she does not NEED sighted guide??


Any advice/ideas/information I can present at Thursday's IEP meeting on behalf of this student?




Thanks!
