4:00 pm: Better Market Street Project Update (online)


Nov 12

The LightHouse is pleased to present an update via Zoom on the Better Market Street project, which has undergone some changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us at 4:00 pm Pacific on Thursday, November 12, to learn about the changes from representatives of San Francisco Public Works and the SFMTA.

Notable developments include:

  • Removal of the sidewalk level bikeway
  • All transit vehicles will use the Muni-only center lanes and there won’t be any curbside stops
  • People biking will share the curb lane with taxis, paratransit, and commercial vehicles.

These changes mean that the sidewalks will only be for people walking and transit passengers no longer have to cross the bikeway to get to the sidewalk. Transit passengers will get to and from the center boarding islands at signalized crossings.

Each of these issues will be discussed in further detail. We hope you can join us. RSVP to Scott Blanks: SBlanks@lighthouse-sf.org.

1:00 pm: Lost In Space: An O&M Instructor’s Guide to Teaching Spatial Skills


Nov 18

Remote O&M instruction is a challenge. By now, most teachers have discovered that some content areas lend themselves better to distance instruction than other areas. One of the most useful topics that can be taught remotely is orientation, referring not to route learning but to overall spatial development. We learned as part of our university programs that cardinal directions and landmark selection are important, but why (and exactly how critical are they)? Why do some students excel at independent exploration while others struggle to follow a simple route? In this free 2-hour Zoom presentation, you’ll learn about mental rotation and frame of reference, which together form the foundation of strong spatial awareness; learn how to quickly assess your students’ relative strengths and weaknesses in each area; and learn which O&M skills contribute to each area. We’ll discuss teaching strategies and exercises that help develop individual skills and strengthen the overall foundation, discuss what kind of technological setups work well for remote spatial awareness lessons and why, and review the role that both simple and complex tactile graphics can play in the instruction process.

Lighthouse is partnering with the Northern Chapter of the California Association of Orientation and Mobility Specialists (N-CAOMS) in order to make ACVREP CEUs available to participants.  2 ACVREP Credits will be provided at no charge for current CAOMS members, and at $30 for non-CAOMS members.

Participants interested in CEUs for this webinar should complete the CAOMS ACVREP CEU Registration Form via: https://forms.gle/MFaCATv2XimhGyuQA

RSVP for the class by November 16.

N-CAOMS membership is only $30 annually and is open to professionals across the nation.  To learn more about N-CAOMS Membership:
