Blind Boy Uses Echolocation Extraordinary Animals BBC Earth

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

This incredible boy uses echolocation like a dolphin or a bat to navigate despite being blind. Samantha: I have been blind since birth. I also echo-locate. Under no circumstances do I make a noise, unless it's my cane sweeping from side to side. I've learned to sense the air bouncing off buildings, vans, cars, or walls, as well as bus shelters, etc. I hear it with my ears. I can tell whether the object is solid or not. I do not need the aid of a click of the tongue. I think this way should be taught, rather than the click of the tongue method. It may be perceived as anti-social in the wider society, and viewed by sighted piers as strange.

I have sympathy and love for him. BUT honestly animals are able to echolocate due to special hearing mechanism developed by evolution in DNA. its not something you can mimic and learn.
this can't possibly be true. anyways don't let blindness stop you,

Silat Merpati Putih has better program for blind people, we tech them to get vibravision ability. We are able to differentiate between the different energies and perceive the weight, volume, velocity, color, shape and substance of any object

We believe the visually impaired deserve certificates and diplomas they can read and understand. Made on thin wood, using a textured seal and Braille writing. This kid is a hero and he should have his awards be something he can read.

Just give him a few more years, and the clicks would be more subtle, and his hand movements would become even more subtle. And he would develop extraordinary smell skills too.

they should just give him a clicker that makes a sound that echoes even better, that we he just has to press on it a couple times and he knows where everything is
