In term 1 2019 four experienced RTVs from BLENNZ Palmerston North attended the DOM ‘On Campus’ course at Homai. Over a five day period there was attendance at workshops and plenty of time to refine skills in guiding, being guided and basic cane travel.
Each evening the ‘team’ of Amanda Gough, Darrell Lee, Trish Bishop and Meredith Pitcher worked on the set assignments for the course. Upon returning home the fun part began; working with a learner, documenting the work in pictures and in words, and lastly reflecting on the programme.
We felt that this course was valuable in aiding each of us to ‘brush up’ on the more technical components of guiding and cane travel. We enjoyed the work with each of our learners and took pleasure in the outcomes. Completing this course together was the ‘icing on the cake’!
