Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 All charge parents Has anyone any idea how I can go about teaching the concept of danger to a " charger " ? Re: Fear Wow, that is a difficult question. Out of my area of expertise, I'm afraid. But I have two suggestions. First, post your question to the list - ask other parents what they have done. Second, ask for suggestions from Brown, a deafblind specialist who works with kids a lot. The latest email I have for him is: davidbrown1234@... good luck.

She does not show any fear at all and where we're from it is important to know when to act on something that is not right and to anticipate danger.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Elna, You have asked a question that I am sure affects many of us with chargers. In order to give better answers, could you give us some information about how Chantelle (13 years old) communicates? Does she speak, or sign, or use pictures to communcate, or all of the above or none of the above? Or does she communicate in another way? Can you give some details of her hearing and vision? Also, sometimes it helps to focus on one area to make progress initially. Is there one particular area you would like to teach her to use caution about?
