Re: Regarding Lack of Formal Independent Outdoor Travel Training
That card thing definitely sounds demeaning. It's bad enough when a sighted person who's never had experience with the blind suggests something like that, but an O&M instructor? It reminded me of a two-day Greyhound trip I took two summers ago to visit a prospective significant other. For the first day or so of said trip I had the misfortune to sit next to an elderly lady who, apart from nagging the driver about every little thing at every turn, kept telling me I ought to make a big sign that says I'm blind and wear it around my neck so people would help me from bus to bus. I had to really bite my tongue to keep from telling her she ought to make a sign that sas I'm an idiot for even suggesting something like that.
