 Sighted Guide Technique
STANCE
![[Picture of technique]](images/sg3_s.gif)
GUIDE: Stand with your arm
relaxed at your side or bent at the elbow.
FOLLOWER: Your arm should
be bent at the elbow, placing you one half step behind the guide. Keeping the elbow bent
for long periods of time can be uncomfortable for the guide. Experienced guides and
followers can often travel just as well with the guide’s hand dropped to a vertical
position.
NOTE: Walk at a pace that
is comfortable for both people. The guide should not be "dragging or towing" the
follower and the follower should not be pushing the guide.
