[blparent] O&M advice

[Jessica Trask]

Hi Everyone,
I'm a cane user. I've hooked up with one of the Orientation and 
Mobility specialists at the New Hampshire Association for the Blind. 
I've met him once and I got a cane from the Free White Cane Program run 
by the NFB. It's one of the Solid White Canes and he prefers me not to 
use it during our Mobility lessons when we start. He said  he would 
prefer that I use a folding cane. I chose the rigid cane because I felt 
that it would work a bit better for me to use because the sidewalks and 
streets where I'm currently living aren't in the best conditions. In 
fact, one of the agencies that we are working with to get our daughter 
back was actually nice enough to buy me and my daughters father a 
Jogger Stroller for the fact I just mentioned above.
