Except for echolocation children should be taught how to create a mental map, because the ability to hear objects around them is not enough to, for example, find their way back to the place they were beofre. They should also learn how to use white cane properly.
Even though Ben has mastered echolocation, he was not able to detect big hole in the ground. He also got lost in the park. It shows echolocation can be really helpful in many cases, but certainly not all of them.
