Today the lesson was at the middle school. The lesson began at the school where we then walked to a nearby residential neighborhood. We did instruction with three different male students each getting a one hour session. The lesson was basically the same for each student- to locate and identify landmarks in the neighborhood such as light poles, street signs, and mailboxes. The lesson also involved observing the street crossing rules such as located the truncated curbs, using proper diagonal cane technique, moving efficiently across the street and locating the correct area and curb across the street.. Each lesson was slightly different according to the level and needs of each student. Two of the students needed more assistance and guidance than the third student. This was a great first residential lesson because the area was not too busy but just busy enough in order to have discussions with the students. On a more personal not- one thing I noticed is that I need to invest in a new pair of tennis shoes or walking shoes! Boy my feet and legs ached later that night!
