Shorelining is a technique used to find a landmark or particular destination – such as a driveway, pathway up to a home, or an intersecting sidewalk. The child will be walking parallel to a grassline or other surface and sweep or tap their cane back and forth (the cane tip touching down several inches over the shoreline’s edge). We sometimes say cement to grass, cement to grass – looking for the change to cement to cement (or whatever surface they are looking for). They would then make a 90 degree turn and continue on their journey. The student can also use a touch and drag technique along the shoreline.
Have fun exploring the world with your child!
