What should a learner do when they veer off a sidewalk onto the grass?

Identifying the change in surface is essential for a learner navigating their environment, especially when they veer off a sidewalk onto the grass. Recognizing this change helps them understand their position and the need to adjust their movement. Grass has different characteristics compared to a sidewalk, such as uneven terrain, which can affect balance and mobility. By identifying the change, the learner can assess whether they need to reorient themselves, find their way back to the sidewalk, or navigate safely across the grass.

In contrast, asking for assistance may not always be necessary if the learner can self-correct through their awareness of the situation. Continuing to walk without addressing the discrepancy can lead to further disorientation or potential hazards, and ignoring the deviation could lead to difficulties if the learner is unaware of their surroundings. By focusing on identifying the change in surface, the learner enhances their situational awareness and promotes safer navigation.
