This is the last section of “Going Places.” This section talked about taxis and hiring drivers. To be honest I have rarely used these modes of transportation. When it comes to taking a taxi, I usually use them as part of paratransit. Just like the course said there are many advantages and disadvantages to usingContinue reading “Section Five: Taxis and Drivers-Going Places: A Hadley School for the Blind and Visually Impaired review”

Heavy Traffic, Elevators and a Target Run (independent living skills series 22)
I woke up feeling sick, and it took a lot of effort to get going. Thank goodness for Cheerios and coffee. I got to school early; and the taxi ride was uneventful.

Shopping and compass directions (independent living skills series 16)
The van was late, but I still made it on time. Once everyone was in the student lounge, our main teacher told us about a focus group meeting that was being held at the main office.

Plans Change: Informal Pre-Employment Class (independent living skills series 7)
The van was late. I was anxious; and I was starting to snack on my favorite taco chips and Dr. Pepper. Because I was still upset I called an international friend in England. We chatted up a storm until the van came. The ride to school was uneventful, and I was only 30 minutes late.Continue reading “Plans Change: Informal Pre-Employment Class (independent living skills series 7)”
Getting used to my new cane and tip (independent living skills series 6)
“Great, you brought your new cane; let me go get your pencil tip. I’ll be back in a minute,” my Orientation and Mobility instructor said, as I sat there eagerly waiting for my lesson to start. Once she returned with the pencil tip, I decided against it. That was because I am a medium travelerContinue reading “Getting used to my new cane and tip (independent living skills series 6)”
