[blindkid] O&M question

[Carrie Gilmer]

Where is her cane? She should be able to tell by gently finding the feet of
the person in front of her with that. Your description is typical of the old
traditionalist low expectations school.

Subject: [blindkid] O&M question

My daughter is mainstreamed in kindergarten and her O&M instructor has
recently started having her place one hand on the shoulder of the child
ahead of her when they are all walking in line.  Is this a typical
approach to take?  If not, what alternative technique should I ask them
to use?
Thank you.
Stephanie
