BlankThat’s why Coach Heatherington may have had us tap our canes, so that we
could hear the echo. However, when I was at the Center in Kalamazoo, my
Mobility Instructor named Suky told me to be as quiet as I can, and that she
didn’t want to hear me; and she showed me to use the touch-slide method, rather
than the touch method. When I was a kid when I would walk, I used to wonder if
I could see, because I noticed the tree in front of me, but I really heard it,
because that would block the other sounds, and so I know it was there. I think
maybe that’s what it means too, because objects in our path block our paths.

When I was working at M S B there was a young man there that would walk around
slapping his feet as he walked. He did that for echo location, because he was
too busy talking to whomever he was walking with.

Thanks Marcia for the link. I downloaded it and listened to the first half.
It was indeed interesting. I know we know a lot of folks like Adam, and some
of us laughed and teased them too. Kids are really tough on each other. We
are so blessed to have had the training and experiences we had at MSB and for
me and tony, even before MSB. When I first came to Arizona, back in 2003, my
cousin Gary, asked if I still rode a bike. He said that I rode around their
street, went by parked cars, etc. I didn’t remember doing that, but I
supposed maybe I did, if he said I did. He was so amazed and he was still
amazed at my mobility skills when we saw each other again in 2003. We stayed
on a ranch and he parked his motor home next to us and I played with the dogs,
and walked around freely and that’s, I guess, what amazed him. So, seems you
can never teach your relatives enough about the abilities of blind people.
Take care all.

There’s also a program from This American Life,
covering the same subject. This is also associated with the same program
called Invisibelia.
I have the program, and will upload it to my Drop Box Public folder in a few
minutes. I hope I can provide the link to the list.

There is a program on NPR called Invisible that talks about a blind person
using echo location by making a clicking noise.
I don't know when it is on your local stations; but it is on WUOM-91.7 tonight
at 8:00 EST January 26. It can be heard on their website as well,
michiganradio.org.
If you think education is difficult, try being stupid !
