He might be the only blind student but he’ll always know how to get where he’s going. Ashton went to his new middle school building yesterday with his orientation and mobility instructor and practiced walking all around the school to learn where everything is. He has been doing this since April to help him prepare for the transition to a much bigger school. At first the thought of him getting around a big middle school scared me but now I feel much better knowing he’s learning how to get around on his own. After he got home from walking around the middle school, I asked him where the cafeteria was and which rooms where upstairs at his school and he knew all the right answers. Sometimes it breaks my heart thinking I never needed to do this growing up in the summer, I just went like the rest of the kids on the first day of school and learned where everything was. My son doesn’t get to have the same experience I did but he is teaching me that there are so many other ways to learn how to get around. And being blind doesn’t stop someone from being successful at learning how to navigate new places. #blindnessawareness #orientationandmobility #blindkidscan #septoopticdysplasiaawareness #opticnervehypoplasia #disabilityparenting #disabilityadvocate #whitecane #disabilitypridemonth #blindtok #blindtokcommunity Video description: A boy walking down a school hallway using his white cane next to his orientation and mobility instructor. The boy feels a locker with his hands and continues walking with his teacher down the hallways. He walks down lots of stairs slowly with his white cane and his teacher next to him. He continues to walk next to her and feels the walls and lockers lined up against the wall as he walks.
