I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend weather; it looks like we'll have a beautiful week ahead of us as well. I hope you and your family get out and enjoy it! Marcia and I wanted to share a video on tactile alignment for street crossings. As Certified Orientation & Mobility Specialist our tried and true method of aligning for street crossings is using sound to align with parallel traffic. However when we begin street crossings or in the absence of sound, we often teach a tactile alignment method. Another thing to keep in mind is that when your child determines that it's safe to cross, body language is very important. A confident, swift step let's drivers know the pedestrians intentions to cross. Less confident and hesitant body language can lead to miscommunication. We hope this video helps you support your blind or visually impaired student travel throughout your community. -Marcia & Anne
