Watch me go!!! Blind preschooler uses cane.

  • Опубліковано 1 тра 2009
  • Watch as 2 year 4 month old child uses her cane to navigate, probe and learn what is in her world. Toddlers can and should be introduced to canes even before they start walking.
    You will see she does not just push a cane. (as my students used to do with the heavier canes with rolling tips, which they tended more to drop or toss as they did not understand the vital information they could provide) The lighter cane enables her to actually probe to touch and identify objects in her environment. For more information on cane usage with preschoolers or if you are interested in becoming an orientation and mobility instructor yourself, contact kwalker@alliedinstructional.com. It is a fun and rewarding career! If you are already an instructor or studying to become one, we hope you will consider becoming part of our Allied Instructional Services Team. www.alliedinstructional.com

    I am twenty-five and many years away from needing a cane (hopefully). The idea always frightens me. But something about watching that little girl go on her way with a smile makes me a bit less afraid of the future. I hope she has an awesome future and never lets anything stop her from achieving her goals!

  • @helenkeller93083
    @helenkeller93083 11 років тому +8

    This is so sweet to watch! She's exploring and discovering the world just like any other child, and she's curious about the world around her. You are a great teacher to her :)

    what a cute little one. My daughter learnt to walk at this childs age using the tiniest walking sticks her father had made for her to try to help her with disability.

    I love seeing how you made using her cane into a game with the little side to side sing song. I work with disabled children and they always seem to enjoy making games and songs out of the tasks they have to do. One little girl used to sing to her feeding tube and count how many vials she took during a feeding :) This little girl is precious and I'm sure will more than over come her difficulties :)

    This video had me in tears the whole way through. May God bless this little girl, she is so precious and has touched my heart. Well done to the trainer, I wouldn't know the first thing about being blind, but this video has really shown me the little things we take for granted. She is so cute. I can't believe 7 people would dislike the video. Carry on the great work!

    It shouldn't be heartbreaking. I'm totally blind and 13 years old. I don't have to have an aid with me all the time. I just hope this vi department treats the girl right. I've seen vi departments that do not treat th3e kids right at all. I trust that this department treats her right.

    she is adorable ! yes ! i knewa lady who was dd me and legally blind and her parents neer taught her cane travel... and she in her 60s could not navigate at all without somebody holdign her and she also startled and would...well... go on herself... because she was neer taught self help skills and to navigate !.. yes blind kids should be introed to the canes and simiar when theyare crawling, and a child that is not walking should be introed to wheelchairs.. ones that are functional and are set up to encourage self propulsion !! way to go lil one !
