Posters
Ray Dragon has graciously posted two posters on his web site at SpEdEx.
1.
Corner to corner:
effective ways to solicit aid by deaf-blind people
This poster was based on a survey reported in more detail in the following article:
o
Sauerburger, Dona and Jones, Suzanne (1997). “Corner to Corner: How Can Deaf‑Blind People Solicit Aid
Effectively?” RE:view, Heldref
Publications, Vol. 29 No. 1 (Spring 1997), pp. 34-44.
2.
Assessing and
developing judgment of safety for crossing with no traffic control
This poster has pictures of situations
(including a two-lane residential street) where it is not possible to hear the
traffic well enough – even when it’s quiet – to know whether there is a gap
long enough to cross, as well as pictures of situations (including a 3-lane
highway) where the traffic can be heard far enough away when it’s quiet to know
that there is a gap long enough to cross.
The poster was developed for presentation at the International Mobility
Conference in
o
Snook Hill, Mary-Maureen and Sauerburger, Dona (1996). “Teaching Students to Assess
Safety for Crossing Streets Which Have No Traffic Control,” in Conference
Proceedings International Mobility Conference No. 8, Tambartun National
Centre, Melhus.
Concepts and strategies mentioned in the poster, including the TMAD, are explained in more detail in the following articles:
