Hi. I'm Alex. If anyone wants talking about new methods of orientation and mobility, you're welcome. Also I created 6 new sports for the blind that develop quite new abilities to feel the world. In Goalball the ball produces sounds so blind players can hear where it is located, but in socium the walls, pits and stones on roads, low hanging billboards, etc. don't sound. If wanna ask something, you can. Also everything, even invisible for the sighted people, can be easily found out.

Hi. My name is Dan. I work at a rehab facility (physical/occupational/speech) and have a young child about 6 who is blind. We have some goals we are working toward and I wonder if you have any suggestions on how to improve a couple things. His gait pattern is more of shourt shuffles rather than full steps, even with the use of his cane. Any suggestions on activities that would encourage longer strides? Also, he "flaps" his hands when he gets excited and hops up and down. Why does he do this and how can we normalize his expression of elation. Also, how can we encourage a better awareness of where he is inside of a building? Thanks.

I hope all the people who park cars on the sidewalks see this video.

Your student might be on the autism spectrum and these would be part of his behavior when he gets excited. His adapted PE teacher can work on his gait.
