Explorers Program. This program is designed to introduce young blind children
(ages birth to 7) and their families to the long white cane. Through the
program parents will receive the tools, support, and confidence needed to
become their childs first cane travel teacher. Providing children with an
early start to independent movement and travel ensures that children will be
more confident and curious travelers throughout life. Families participating in
the program will receive a free child-sized white cane, <i><span
