or use modified constant-contact technique when experiencing small sections of such terrain.
How do you handle the cane on icy sidewalks or streets? ANSW✅✅Shorten stride, shuffle feet,
widen base of support, use constant contact, touch and slide or touch and probe
What are the steps of corner searches? ANSW✅✅1. Find landmarks along the original
perpendicular street.

How to negotiate slopes? ANSW✅✅Slopes in front for the student are his friends (approaching
curb or going uphill or downhill). Slopes beside student indicate driveways, or parking lot entrances.

several times. Uses the longest time for test.
2. O&M determines the time from when the student first hears a vehicle approaching from one
direction to when the vehicle reaches the crosswalk.
3. The comparison of how long it take the student to cross the street and how long it takes a
perceived vehicle to reach the crosswalk determines whether or not it is safe for the student to
cross.
How is the basic street-crossing procedure taught? ANSW✅✅First at two-way stop intersections,
then at four-way stop intersections, where the perpendicular
How does the O&M introduce street crossings? ANSW✅✅The first several street crossings are
done using human guide so that the student gets a feel for the crossing.
