About storing the cane:
We have a strip of velcro on the desk at school so that Ahbee's cane is
available at hand. If there is a fire drill(or the real thing), I want her
cane to be in her hand in a moment! She chooses to walk independently at
school as much as possible, and the teachers are with us on that.

At home Ahbee stores her cane in the hall closet. Her dad and I have told
her, feel free to use your cane in the house! With two younger siblings,
things are going to get in the path, but she just walks more slowly in the
house.
