Marie,
I just wanted to mention that we still received O&M, speech and Vi services even
though we put our VI twins in private preschool for an extra year. I took them
to the local elementary school for services during the school day a couple of
times per week. This also helped to get them familiar with the elementary school
they would be attending the following year.

Subject: [blindkid] Rolling tip
Hello everyone,
Jack is growing so fast that it's time to get him another cane. We are thinking
that we will get him a slightly longer one this time and were hoping to get one
with a rolling tip or buy a rolling tip. With Jack's small hands and his
modified grasp he gets very fatigued attempting to tap tap and tends to do
constant contact with his cane. We thought a roller tip might be a bit more
conducive to constant contact. We also thought we might get a longer one since
when his grip fatigues, he tends to put the cane between his right hand and
right hip to hold it. A longer cane would make this a bit easier. He actually
does more side to side sweeping holding the cane this way--hard to explain but
it works for him.
And no we don't have an O & M instructor. We lost our school services when we
decided to keep him in preschool this year.
So anyone know where I can get a straight unfolding cane with a rolling tip or
know where I can buy a rolling tip to fit a straight unfolding cane...I did not
see any at the NFB store but if it's there somebody please point me in the right
direction.
Thanks!
Marie (mother of Jack born May 2005)
