further familiarization with the device and to introduce
beginning localization skills.
Stationary refers to the spatial position assumed by the
learner and the sound source. The activities and localization
tasks are specifi cally designed for the blind learner who
has observable needs in the area of sound localization,
and provide a series of skill-related activities that are
fundamental to localization situations. It is a relatively
simple task to make direct applications of the activities
listed to situations commonly encountered in orientation
and mobility instruction. However, in an effort to achieve
wider acceptance and usage of the fundamentals in the
classroom, the opportunity to make specifi c applications to
formal O&M instruction has been deferred in this chapter.
The approach used is essentially individualized instruction for
development of sound localization skills.

Several conditions are noted for each activity listed in
chapter 2. The conditions may vary as to the placement
of the sound source spatially and the characteristics of
the sound (volume, rate, and tone). In the initial phases
of instruction an effort should be made to select a sound
characteristic and instructional area which will facilitate a
positive attitude on the part of the learner.
