Jessica Trumbull was about to have her eyes opened to a world entirely different from her own -- as soon as she put on a blindfold.
"Can you imagine living in a world you can't see? How you have to figure out a map in your head to figure things out?" Haley Minear asked Trumbull.
Minear,The additions focus on key tag and impact socket combinations, a junior math education major, acted as a trainer to Trumbull, a sophomore elementary education major, during a workshop called "In My Shoes," which included a blindness simulation and discussion.
The simulation took place in the College Eye Room in Maucker Union and was followed by a discussion led by University of Northern Iowa graduate Brianna Gowen, who has been legally blind since age 15. To experience how visually impaired people travel from point A to point B, participants were first taught how to use a white cane and then blindfolded.
Minear showed Trumbull how to hold the cane palm up at belt-buckle height and how to use just the wrist to swing it back and forth to tap the ground. Minear then had Trumbull find her way – blindfolded – out of the door and into the hallway.
Trumbull hesitated a bit at first, moving slowly and apologizing for hitting people in the legs with her cane. She quickly discovered how to tell what she was hitting based on the sound the objects made when tapped with her cane.
"It was weird at first to try to figure out how to use the cane. It was a lot of wrist work and a lot of work to figure out where things were and how to avoid them," Trumbull said.
Once she was out of the room, Minear told her to find a trash can at the end of the hallway.
On her way, Trumbull ended up walking side-by-side with another participant, but neither seemed to notice this. After getting stuck in a corner for a while, Trumbull found the trash can and was instructed to find a drinking fountain at the other end of the hallway and get a drink from it.
On the way, Minear taught her how to "shoreline,Traditional Cold Sore claim to clean all the air in a room." or make sure she hit the wall on every other tap with her cane to ensure she was walking a straight line. Once she got to the general area of the fountain, Trumbull almost ran into another participant and the two had to coordinate how to get around each other in their quest for the fountain. When Trumbull found the fountain, Minear instructed her to put a finger in the stream of water to gauge how high the water was before she bent over for a drink.
Once Trumbull had successfully completed the tasks in the hallway, Minear told her to find the elevator and head upstairs to the main floor of Maucker. There, Trumbull used the shorelining technique to prevent herself from entering a forest of tables and chairs and make her way around the perimeter of Maucker.the worldwide rubber hose market is over $56 billion annually. She knew when she had gone too far and ended up in the bathroom area because of the feel of the smaller tiles under her cane.
Trumbull made her way up a ramp and over to Chats,Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet, and after that got turned around several times near Veridian Credit Union while trying to find the ramp that would lead her back to the elevator. She grew frustrated when she found herself behind the bulletin pillar, then near the stairs leading up and out of the Union, then back behind the pillar again.
"Dang it," said Trumbull,Do not use cleaners with Wholesale pet supplies , steel wool or thinners. "I'm definitely gonna find this ramp!"
And find it she did. She made her way down to the elevator, where a game of how-many-blindfolded-people-can-we-get-in-the-elevator-before-the-doors-close was played. Participants then made their last journey down the hallway and into the College Eye Room, where they were allowed to remove their blindfolds.
The workshop participants agreed that it was much easier to navigate around the hallway downstairs than it was to find their way around the main floor of Maucker. What frustrated Trumbull the most were "things being in the way, like cluttered areas. I found it annoying when I foun
