School+Travel

Some people may wonder how totally blind people get around in a school setting. My name is Caleb Freeman and I am going to tell you a little about how I get around in my school. I use what is called a cane. This is a type of mobility that students such as my self use to help us get around from place to place. When using a cane you hold it by what is called the grip, this is what you hold on to while your cane is in use. When you are walking you do what's called a sweep, by going back and forth from left to right, this is how you also find obsticals that are in your path What i do when I am in a brand new school, I get a class schedule and learn all of my routs to those classes. I do this to not only have a complete lay-out of the school, but I get familiar with the school as a whole. Another thing I do when I am learning routs is that I find all of the major landmarks such as the cafeteria, auditorioum, gym, and the main lobby of the school. This is how I travel in a school setting from class to class independently.
