[Pibe-division] Hot Stoves- Blind or Sighted--Teaching Tricks

[Dr. Denise M. Robinson]

Bryan,
I do not know of wire guides, but I do know that if you turn on the stove and practice the hand hovering above the burner, you will be able to find center and place the pot accordingly. Takes a little practice, but you can get very good at it.
But, I will keep looking for something like that.

>>Hot  Stoves- Blind or Sighted--Teaching Tricks I always think about the tricks I use for  teaching the blind and realize almost all the same techniques work great for  sighted too. How many sighted people have placed their hand on a burning  stove? Yep, me too! LOL! We are a funny bunch of human beings.

>>As I 
  take my students into the kitchen, the first thing we do is feel EVERYTHING with it off. They feel every burner, or flat cooking surface, all  dials, open oven and pretty much almost climb inside. They need to feel every  corner, racks, pull out and in, feel what they will need to clean on the  bottom when something spills over. I relieve their fear on this immediately. Yes, food will spill over and YOU will have to clean it. They  practice using oven-mitts while pulling the racks in and out of the oven. Then  they practice with heavier dishes so they can get the idea of how much harder  the rack is to pull out with weight on it. All with the stove off! Same thing  for the burners, lifting different sizes and pans of water off and on the  burners. story continued on http://blindgeteducated.blogspot.com/
