Teaching the blind to navigate the world using tongue clicks: Daniel Kish at TEDxGateway 2012
About Daniel:
Daniel Kish is an American expert in human echolocation and President of World Access for the Blind, a non-profit founded in 2000 to facilitate "the self-directed achievement of people with all forms of blindness" and increase public awareness about their strengths and capabilities. Kish and his organization have taught echolocation to at least 500 blind children around the world. Kish, who has been blind since he was 13 months old, is the first totally blind person to be a legally Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist (COMS) and to hold a National Blindness Professional Certification (NOMC). He also holds masters degrees in developmental psychology and special education.
About his TEDxGateway talk:
Daniel shares his life story, his journey behind spreading the echolocation concept, and his message to the blind community across the world that nothing is impossible and seeing the world could only a matter of few tongue clicks away.
