One of my colleagues, who is a teacher for students with visual impairments, took this bird song/call quiz with one of her middle school students.

Her student LOVED it.
My friend explained that many people with visual impairments are attracted to bird "watching" since they often have well-tuned auditory skills which allow them to locate and identify birds. Since I have such difficulty visually locating the birds I hear maybe I should hone my auditory discrimination skills and learn their calls/songs.

Please share positive ideas for helping students in public schools. Use other blogs and listservs for venting or discussing anything other than ideas for helping students, school staff and parents. Thanks.
