Re: Ideas for Nonverbal Students
Thanks Diane; that's a possibility. It would take awhile for me to put that together (and receive permission to post student videos) - but perhaps something to look into! Please send me your contact info and maybe we can talk more?
Meanwhile, if anyone wants to connect for some music/movement examples (much easier to do live than in a written format!) please don't hesitate to reach out. :-)?

Yes, I would love to share with all! However, it's a little tricky to do that in this format/platform. I had presented on this topic at the SOMA conference and I think that sharing some ideas through a dialogue (Zoom, etc.) might be easiest (I have videos of music interventions as well, if interested). Maybe if those who are interested can shoot me an email and we'll figure out how/when to connect?

Thanks for the interest. Music has so much potential for its use in O&M!

Re: Audible pedestrian signals
I happen to live in
NYC, and I can tell you that the city disregards accessibility
laws with total impunity because it is cheaper for them to pay
nominal fines for non-compliance than to spend millions of
dollars for engineering studies and new construction and
hardware.? As I have discovered, even when audible signals are
installed, they often do not work because they are not
maintained.? Maintenance contracts are usually awarded to
companies that either submit the lowest bid or else have
politcal connections in high places but are not equipped to
handle the job.? When I called 311 recently to complain that the
audible pedestrian signals at the busy intersection outside my
apartment building weren't working, I was told that it could
take up to 45 days for a city inspector to get around to
checking it out. This may be? all moot anyway, because it is a
safe bet that there will be lax enforcement of federal
accessibility laws once the new administration takes office. ?

From Gene Bourquin?
Although it is true, that municipalities
are required to have a transition plan, nothing in
current law requires anyone to install an APS except the
requirements in the New PROWAG following the MUTCD. That
is, when there is major changes at an intersection APSs
must be put in at that location. But, in the absence of
any major changes to the signaling system or surfaces
nothing requires a Department of Transportation or
Public Works to install an APS at a particular location.
Both in New York City, and in Chicago,
federal courts have required that the crosswalks be
made accessible. In New York, the court required a
minimum of around 70% (if my memory is accurate) of
crosswalks that are signalized to have APS, and upon
review perhaps 100%. But these decisions are only
effective within the jurisdiction of those federal
courts.
I suggest as a first step, to take all of
Dona's advice and contact the jurisdiction. I would
also emphasize the aspects of the intersection that
pose risks and dangerous to pedestrians, only because
fear of lawsuits is a major compelling incentive for
cities and counties to install the APS once they've
been warned that they may be liable. Technically, the
cost of installing the APS cannot be a factor unless
it would cause the municipality to go bankrupt. The
practical problem is that sometimes you've got to sue
them to make it happen, best to use persuasion as your
first line of offense along with logic

make their facilities accessible by what date, and then
FOLLOW THEIR PLAN!!

my clients.. however I was told they are too
expensive. Does anyone know of a grant that will pay
for this ? ?I understand that there are APS that are
not as expensive but work just as well. Does anyone

Re: EAC Re: [OandM] Audible pedestrian signals
Rosemary, I have also been told that APS installation is too expensive. If you break it down installing a new plus intersection will cost around one million dollars.?
APS will cost roughly $10,000 or relatively speaking one percent of the cost for a new intersection.? Cost is not a factor. It’s an excuse!? JoAnne Chalom, COMS. Ed.S

Yo!?
I had someone ask me if there are any hospitals who offer Orientation and Mobility services as part of their treatment and care. The first thing I thought of was the VA but I’m not sure if other hospitals have Mobility specialist on staff-what say you
do you know of any and, if so, where are they located?

Want to feel CONFIDENT when teaching uncontrolled crossings?!
Hi everyone!? If you'd like to feel more confident when preparing your students for uncontrolled crossings and learn the new, simplified way to handle these crossings (AND earn free ACVREP credit!), our new are just what you need!
?
Jolene Troisi and I invite you to join our participants in their adventures as they figure out when they can rely on the traditional "cross when quiet" strategy as well as other street-crossing strategies, and how to prepare their students.
Participants share insights and wisdom, sometimes pushing back against a new paradigm that is different from what they had been taught -- a paradigm, based on research, which has evolved slowly?over the last 35 years for dealing with uncontrolled crossings (no more Timing Method for Assessing the Detection of Vehicles!).
To find out more, go to our .? Enjoy!

Hello Everyone,
The students that I’m working with are a mixture between extremely limited verbal expression and students who don’t use any words to express themselves. The non-verbal students make sounds, however it isn’t anything that would be defined as words. The other students express themselves, however they are not your traditional words that may be interpreted as being verbal. Once you’ve learned their language, then you can tell what they are expressing.?
?
Does this help??

Some of the kiddos, are primarily delayed learners and have other setbacks that are combined with a higher level CVI range from 6-9.?
I want to be able to be able to more effectively service them and make my time with them beneficial.?

Hi Robert,

Carly’s original question may have a different context. I interpreted her question to be about young people who are not functioning at an academic level with their age matched peers; more specifically, those who are not using ASL, either visually or through manual or tactile sign, Protactile, etc. I may be wrong in how I interpreted her initial question.
?
Generally when I consider the needs of individuals who are “non-verbal” I am thinking about those who have not yet developed the use of formal language and are expressing their needs, wants, and emotions using either body language, object symbols, or some other form of expression that precedes the use of sign language, spoken language, Protactile, etc.

Hello Everyone,
I’m looking for ideas for goals and lesson strategies for my students who are not textbook O&M students.
I have several students who are not fluently verbal and have additional learning needs.
I’m reaching out for your input, execution ideas, and suggestions. Matching games, etc? What are your go to resources for ideas? Where do you get your inspiration from and where do you get supplies from?
Thank you?

Thanks, Jack. I think what you're describing is what I have tried to do, but it's still not working. In my experience, I select
"Share" and have the option to send the route to another person via text, and it arrives as a .vvr file. However, when the receiver gets it, there is no option to "download". And it does not appear under
Settings/Import VoiceVista Route File (.vvr).?Let me know if you think I'm missing something!?
