Narrator:
OK, we’re going outside and the goal here is to have the child walk with the walker from the classroom to the playground. We’re also trying to encourage him to use his left hand and keep it on the walker. We’re having to help him keep his hand on the walker at some time.
And this is a good transition for us. Going outside is something that we do every day and going in and out with the walker is easier in a hallway than it is in the classroom where we have a lot of shelves and toys on the floor.
I’m having to help him steer a little with the walker. He has a little hard time – and he’s smiling at the camera. Trying to keep up with his friends who are already in the elevator.
Teacher:
Turn, turn, turn, we’re at the elevator.
Narrator:
He really does a great job with the walker. Just needs reminding of his left hand.
Teacher:
Turn, turn, turn! Wait, come back. Left hand. Can you hold on?.
Narrator:
He’s not always aware of where his left hand is.
Teacher:
At the elevator. Turn. Whoa! Turn, turn, turn. Let’s go in.
Narrator:
Going in, seeing his friends.
Teacher:
Push, push. Push, turn.
Narrator:
And he uses his walker to walk all the way out onto the playground…
Teacher:
Whoop, gotta keep this left hand on.
Narrator:
…and occasionally we use it actually on the playground.
Teacher:
There you go.
