#whitecanesafetyday

This day has been scheduled to honor all of the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired, as well as the white cane, the country's most popular symbol of blindness and freedom.

Although technological advancements continue to improve the lives of the blind and visually impaired, the white cane continues to be a basic ingredient in living a healthy and productive life. The white cane extends a person's senses, allowing them to identify steps, uneven pavement, and obstacles. However, it also provides a degree of security as a warning to the seeing public. It's either to block someone with a white cane or to direct them in another direction. The cane is able to find the correct way by a skilled operator.
