Brailling
should be done only when necessary, as it is the most invasive teaching
technique.
Your
movements must be accurate to the correct movement, speed and rhythm so the
camper knows exactly how to do it.
You
are there for the camper as a model. The camper will examine with their hands
your body movements when performing skills. It is important that you know
exactly how to perform the tasks.
For
some of the campers, this is the first time that they will be participating in
some of the activities offered at Camp Abilities 2001. Demonstrate the skill as
many times as you need to.
Brailling
may be easier to follow with stationary movements. When you are brailling
movements that are moving, be sure to reinforce, provide feedback and
instruction and to demonstrate as-many times as possible.
After
demonstrating and the camper is given the opportunity to perform the skill, it
is OK to guide the camper through the movements.
