ROOM: TBA {Repeated at 11:15)
Are your students only travelling compliantly, simply following your directions, or worse yet, failing to follow your directions, or unable to understand your request?
Or are they moving purposefully with effective cane usage?
Do your lessons truly motivate a student to want to move, learn more, and become more independent?
