[Blind-Rollers] FW: [Ohio-Talk] Ideas needed

[Becky Frankeberger]

There was someone on this list who talked about a one armed walker. This way
the other arm is free to use the long white cane.

I have just received a call from an older blind friend who is now living in
an assisted living residence. He will be using a walker for the rest of his
life. He is wondering if blind walker users have tips for using a white cane
with a walker. What kind of cane is best? What methods do you use for
holding on to a cane with a hand that is also using a hand rail where
possible? Are there tricks for using one hand on a walker while you are
caning? Any observations or tricks would really be useful.

Thanks,
Barbara

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
