This documentary is really intriguing for me. In the future I want to be a typhlopedagogue, so Ben’s case is a great occasion to read and learn more about echolocation. In my view, Ben was extraordinary person, he had his eyes removed when he was three. He was strong enough to teach himself to use echolocation by “clicking”. To be honest, I didn’t believe that people heave ability to use echolocation when I was younger. I thought that only animals can do this. This case open my eyes and now I think that every visually impaired person should try this. I know that thay can use white canes or dog which helps them. But learning echolocation might change whole life. Unfortunately, we need people who will teach them echolocation and it may be a problem because it’s probably very tough job.
