Watch me go!!! Blind preschooler uses cane.

Watch as 2 year 4 month old child uses her cane to navigate, probe and learn what is in her world. Toddlers can and should be introduced to canes even before they start walking. You will see she does not just push a cane. (as my students used to do with the heavier canes with rolling tips, which they tended more to drop or toss as they did not understand the vital information they could provide) The lighter cane enables her to actually probe to touch and identify objects in her environment. For more information on cane usage with preschoolers or if you are interested in becoming an orientation and mobility instructor yourself, contact [email protected]. It is a fun and rewarding career! If you are already an instructor or studying to become one, we hope you will consider becoming part of our Allied Instructional Services Team. www.alliedinstructional.com
