Observation Survey

            On Wednesday December 18, I observed Orientation and Mobility specialist, Penny, throughout the day. All of the lessons were involving orientation and mobility. The first lesson was at the DePaul Institute with a boy with Usher's Syndrome and who also was photophobic. Photophobic indicates that the person's eyes are extremely sensitive to light due to an inverse reaction by the pupils. The second lesson was at the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. The lesson was with a boy who was deaf and also has low vision. He also experiences cognitive delays with his mental processing at times. For this lesson, we went to McDonalds and ate lunch. Due to the repeated lessons in this store the boy was able to move around easily. He wrote down what he wanted to eat and then gave this paper to the cashier. He was able to do this and receive his food without much assistance from penny or myself. He used me as a guide by holding onto my arm above my elbow as we walked across the parking lot to the car. There was one child which we were supposed to see, but was absent due to a field trip. The last lesson of the day was with two young man and woman. Both of them were student at the WPSD. The man had low vision and retenitis. The woman, Kristen, was deaf and almost entirely blind. She was 21 years old. She was not able to speak and used sign language to communicate along with writing. We went to the mall for this lesson. The two students were instructed with certain tasks for their trip. They were supposed to go to the food court and get whatever they wanted to eat. They were also supposed to find a table and then sit down. They were able to do this on their own without our assistance. After eating, they were supposed to go to the Disney store and find a bear for about $5.00. They were able to do this as well without assistance. I was very impressed with their levels of independence.
