Reflecting back on 2017 with Cane and Compass

Tactile Twister-The Hot Spot!
When I thought about modifying the classic game of Twister my main goal was to give all of my students a way to play a very visual game despite what their visual impairment is (and who doesn’t love a good round of Twister?!).

Visually Stimulating Sensory Bottles
I’ve been using these sensory bottles as rewards for my low vision students. If they do a good job during the lesson, I’ll let them play with the bottles for a few minutes when the lesson is over. It adds a little variety to scented stickers and high fives. If you have older students, it can be fun to make the sensory bottles with them!
Are We There Yet?!
This is a board game I created for a fun O&M lesson that also sneaks in a lesson about traffic signs.
