I deal with the visually impaired students.

Uh where we’ll get totally blind students as well as the middle blind.

Middle blind means through some accidents or through some fever or brain fever etc they’ll be getting this middle blind.

Uh we…It’s a 45 days training where we teach them about mobility training, where we make them independent to all the surroundings of NAB as well as other places also.

And not only mobility, we teach them about activity of daily livings skills, then about home science, then we teach them about all other devices, electronic devices, where it’ll be useful for them to learn.

Example, like UReader, it’s very useful for them because it, they can read the entire document or text with this UReader.

So, we have different devices for them to teach, so that also is being trained here.

In this 45 days, first two weeks we make them entire, uh indoor techniques.

There are different techniques: Upper arm lower arm techniques, which will be useful for them to make, to walk in uh inside the house.

Then once they’re familiar here, inside the indoor techniques, slowly we teach them, we’ll give them their canes and we make them to learn, practice with the cane how to…we have different techniques in cane also.

Example, if at all they want to climb the steps, they have a pencil technique which we use, we’ll teach them, and the pencil technique is not only uh useful when they climb the steps, when they cross the road also, it’s very important for them, the pencil technique.

So we have Shoreline practice, where they, um, shoreline means, where it is near the footpaths are there no.

There they have to, there…it’s a two point technique, one uh one uh point they have to touch the footpath, the other of the road.

So this two point means they go straight in the road, without missing the middle.

If they come in the middle, becomes uh difficult for them, so we use the shoreline practice.

So we have a Sighted Guide Techniques, how to take help from a sighted person.

It’s very important, before giving the cane we give them SGT Technique that is Sighted Guide Techniques.

Then we give them cane, then we give the practice.

Our…two-point touch we have, three-point touch we have.

Once they’re familiar to use the cane, then we take them outside and we make them go around outside.

This is the route map.

Okay Ma'am

I’ll be explaining about how to move from NAB gate to NAB board, okay?

That is road, this, Jeevan Bhima nagar main road, and this is ironing shop.

This is also uh this is also the…ironing shop…yes.

This is a clue for you.

Yesterday we talk about, we spoke about in mobility terms, no

That this is a clue, where can get the smell of the…

So they can hear the…observe…they can observe the vehicles which are moving.

And we teach them how they should concentrate on the hearing.

So they should hear the proper sound, where the vehicles are moving, and then they should, they need to move around.

So, that also is being taught to them.

Once, they’re little bit familiar in the surroundings of NAB, we take them in bus, we do them orientation of bus and we show them, where is the disability seat for the uh disabled person to sit.

Then orientation of the bus, how many seats are there, how to board the bus, that also is being taught.

Then once they’re in familiar in bus, we take them to metro station.

And in metro station we show them how to take the ticket, where they should, we can, we can see the tactile flooring in uh metro station that also is being showed to them.

Then, how the ticket has to be taken, then how…how they need to go to the metro station to take the train, then after that we are…it’ll be like theory session, where we teach them about ADL, that is Activities of Daily Living.

For example, for male boys, we teach them how to do the shaving by themselves and how to match the clothes, how to iron the clothes, then uh nail, nail cutting, how to cut the nails.

Then we teach them, in home science, we teach them how to cook.

Like, first we need to do them orientation of the kitchen.

Then we make them to do simple dishes, uh example uh tea, coffee we’ll do first, so they’ll learn how to, on the knob, how to light the stove, then we’ll ask them to prepare coffee or tea.

After preparing that, we give, ask them to prepare some simple dish.

It can be like, something which, with flame, or without flame also, we ask them to do it.

Our, I said about uh, different apps we have in the mobile, so that also is being taught.

For the girls what we make is like, how to comb the hair.

And how to apply the…uh we have different makeup things, no?

Cosmetics, that also we ask them to apply and show to us.

So, that’s also we taught to them.

Then, how to match the dresses, how to fold the clothes, how to iron, that also, same like.

Apart from one or two, what it is, uh to be taught separately for the boys that will be taught, then similarly for both, we’ll do the same thing.

In the beginning when they come here to the NAB for the training, somebody or friends or the parents will bring them here.

So while going they’ll be so happy, even the teachers will be so happy, Frankly, but, telling to you, that they’ll be so happy, that go independently to the places.

So they’ll go, they’ll board the bus by themselves, they’ll go to their hometowns by themselves.
