Re: Teaching Cane Skills with Physical Limitations

 

开云体育

I do have molding plastics and both extra NFB canes and the slimline cane.? I will try those.

?

Also, I never thought about working with an OT, I am sure he has one as this is a new injury. I will see if he has one and go from there.

?

I was thinking I heard something about a band in this group. But not sure where to find one or even know what one would look like. Do you by chance have a visual example?

?

Thank you Chris! You are always the biggest help!

Hi Julie,

?

Light canes like NFB or Ambutech slimline are options to consider, as well as using moldable plastics to refine the grip to match works for him with the availabe digits on his right hand. Working with an OT can be very helpful.?

?

Another option is to use a cuff that can attach to the cane or that the grip of the cane can slide through.?

?

Hope these are helpful for starting options to explore,

Hey all! I have a new client who has some physical limitations, and I need some help being creative. He will need to learn to use a cane. However, due to an accident, he does not have a left hand, and his right hand only has 3 fingers (thumb, middle and ring finger) that are not completely functional. What are some things I can do to modify a cane for him to be able to use one?

Thanks,

Awesome webinar on advocacy in the current administration

 

Hi guys!? I was inspired and galvanized with hope by the amazing legislative webinar AER did a week or two ago, and want to share it with you.?
?
I was so pleased that the panelists focused on how to work with folks together, rather than demonize them and "just say no" and fight everything they are doing, with great examples of how that can be successful.?
?
I'm copying the AER announcement with the link below, which includes an announcement of an exciting webinar from the O&M Division:
?
?

here is a link to the recording. It is free for all to access, so share it as you see fit.

?

?

The takeaway from that webinar was to share our stories, share them often, and share them with everyone. Our advocacy messaging strategy is to:

Affirm: Clearly state and reinforce our core message in a positive, impactful way

Layer: Build upon our core message by adding stories, data, and testimonials to deepen the understanding and engagement of those receiving our messages.?

Sustain: Maintain consistent messaging across time and platforms (letters, social media, phone calls) to ensure long-term impact. Together, these techniques will help our advocacy message to resonate, stay relevant, and lead to action.?

?

To implement this advocacy strategy, AER is working on (1). launching an for members on our website, (2). creating one-page documents for members to use as talking points to guide conversations with legislators and (3.) implementing an advocacy tool.?

  • Advocacy resource page: ?You can find our new advocacy resource page under "Professional Development" and then "Advocacy" on our website. There, you can find one-page fact sheets, helpful resources, and links to our advocacy tool and efforts. We will continue to add more content as it becomes available. ?
  • One-page documents: There are some one-page documents on the website advocacy resources page already, and we are creating more. These one-page documents will provide members with talking points focused on different areas of our profession and current proposed legislation.
  • Advocacy tool: After some delay in finding the right Advocacy Tool for AER, we have narrowed it down and hope to finalize things this week. The advocacy toolkit aims to provide AER members with the necessary information and tools to take action and make their voices heard. The online / phone app toolkit will include a variety of materials such as fact sheets, sample letters, social media graphics, and even ways to record your clients'/students'/your success stories to provide a deeper impact on our advocacy efforts.?

Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to advocate for our clients/students and our professions.?

Sincerely,?
You AER President,?
Dr. Rebecca Renshaw

Re: Stage Safety

 

Maybe some tactile tape? I have no idea of the cost, but Amazon uses something similar to this:?
?to make routes for their visually impaired associates through the warehouses. I hope you find what you’re looking for!?

Hello! I am wondering if anyone has ever had the opportunity to make a school stage more safe by putting some kind of tactile border near the edge of the stage. I wanted to put truncated domes on the stage edge and before the stairs, but everything I have searched either comes up as wet cement installation or 2'x4' warning pads, like at the crosswalks. Does anyone have any other brainstorm ideas, or something that they have used in a situation similar to this? Any links to an adhesive truncated dome - that can be installed onto a wooden stage - not concrete?
Another question along the same line - I want to have a seperate, different texture area put on the stage floor to make students aware that this line is where the curtain closes, so they should stand behind that line before the curtains close at the end of a scene.?
Any ideas are very welcome and I thank you for your time!

Re: Stage Safety

 

Thanks for your input, Dona!
I definitely do not want my students falling off of the stage, as your friend did! I got some really great ideas from this thread, so thanks so much to everyone who had input fo me!
