Dear Jean,
please please come up with a word document so all of the white cane
users as well as the one who wish to use it can be benefited.
I don't think, attachment is permitted in this list and if so, please
provide a link or post it to those who needs it in their Personal Email
IDS.
You can write to me if you please in my personal ID that is,

Regards,

Dear All:
In reading the many postings about mobility, sighted guides and canes, it
is apparent that many people on this list have never had any formal
training in use of the white cane. I am thinking of those who have
posted who have become blind in adulthood or are from rural areas where
blindness rehabilitation training has not been available.
Of course there is no substitute for a structured program in rehab and
adjustment to blindness as would be received from a formal rehabilitation
center. But there are documents that clearly articulate how a white cane
is used and give detailed steps for learning, or improving cane
technique.
There is one such document on the National Federation of the Blind's web
site called "The Care and Feeding of the White Cane." It is written for
conditions that would be found in developed countries but is very
applicable to our conditions in India. It is on their web site as a
series of documents by topic. I do not think it is downloadable as a
whole document. However, if enough people would find it helpful I am
willing to piece it together in word and make it available as a printable
document. I could also make notations about variations in described
techniques that would apply to our conditions.
Again, this would not substitute for formal mobility training, but for
people who have lost their vision and just need to get on with life
perhaps it would be helpful. Even though I have been a cane traveler for
many years I always get something out of it every time I read it. As a
printed document it would also be available to reluctant family members
and friends who really don't know how blind people manage independent
travel.
I would like to know if this document is something people would find of
benefit?
