are Valid.
What environmental features can be used for Orientation? correct answers Clues, landmarks,
textured surface on the ground, curbs/ drop offs, your senses to identify familiar places to
identify where you are
When teaching the use of the sun as an orientation environmental features, what related concept
must the learner know? correct answers Teach cardinal directions, Sense of the sun, How the sun
travels across the sky
A learner veers when crossing a street, What environmental feature might assist the learner in
maintaining a straight line of travel? correct answers The apex of the road, Proprioceptive sense,
Sounds of parallel traffic, Slope of the curb (downward slope), APS button
Landmark correct answers any familiar object, sound, odor, temperature, or tactual clue that is
easily recognized, is constant, and that has a known permanent location in the field.
primary information point correct answers features that, while not unique along a path and thus
not considered landmarks, can be used in combination with other features to provide information
about one's location.
secondary information point correct answers this is similar to the primary information point,
however it is possible to miss this
cue correct answers critical objects or sounds emitted from those objects that trigger instant
recognition of one's location
clue correct answers any auditory, olfactory, tactile (incl. temp), kinesthetic, or visual stimulus
affecting the senses which can be readily converted to give the student information necessary to

route-here the child understand the location of objects or places as related to one another
Cognitive map correct answers a mental representation of a specific layout, which includes
object-to-object relationship, landmarks, paths and directions
