Activity Six: Localizing sound when moving in
opposition to the sound source
opposition to the sound source
1. Assume initial position: Instructor stands in front
and to the learner’s right at a specifi c distance away.
When sound source is turned on, instructor and
learner start walking toward each other in a parallel
line of direction. Instructor stops before he reaches
learner. Learner continues walking in a parallel line
and stops beside the sound source. The diffi culty
in performing this condition is in maintaining the
parallel position; tendency of learner will be to veer
toward or away from the sound.

Instructor: “Walk straight ahead until you hear the sound
directly on your right side; then stop.” (See Figure 8.)

2. Repeat condition one by reducing the distance the
instructor walks and increasing the distance the
learner walks. Alternate sides.

3. Repeat condition one by having the learner stop and
start several times as he approaches the sound. When
the sound is turned off, the learner will stop; when
sound is turned on, the learner will start.

sound is turned on, the learner will start.
The activities outlined in chapters 2-5 are used to expose
and train children to basic ways of interacting with direct
sounds. These experiences and the skills developed through
these exercises can be extrapolated to more sophisticated
uses of sound in daily orientation and mobility tasks. A brief
discussion of other ways sound can be used for orientation
and mobility tasks and some examples of every day tasks
using the skills developed through these exercises is covered
in Appendix A.
