[Blind-rollers] New to this list and seeking information

[Karen Rose]

Oh thank you so much for responding. How do you use a cane with a manual chair? Would you need two hands to push chair plus an extra hand for the cane? How quickly can you travel this way. Slow it’s just not an option for me :-)

>> Hi. I am new to this list and definitely interested in finding out info from all of you who have been using wheelchairs and walkers. I was born totally blind as of now 67. My knees have given out so I am looking to switch to walker or wheelchair. I work as a psychotherapist in two large office buildings and so need to be able to travel significantly. I am especially interested in guidance systems for chairs and walkers. Has anyone done work with attaching autonomous vehicle technology to walkers or wheelchairs? I cannot seem to find these options on the Internet. Very much looking forward to responses. :-) Karen
