[Nfbo-linn-benton] Meeting Highlights

[Lori Ritter]

Yes, I've asked both Dan and Jennifer about the long white cane... Their only comments have been around how the NFB really pushes for the long white cane. (I'm guessing they weren't trained in it's use?) How much more difficult is it to learn how to use a long cane vs. the length Jazzy has?  i.e. (could I buy one for her and have her use it outside of school?)

Good point, Lori.  I plan to look up the Oregon White Cane law -most states usually say "white cane" or "cane with a red tip."  We'll adjust as we need to!  And, phooey about local instruction - they're missing the boat on creating maximum independence for our youngsters!

The only this I would change is the education about the long white cane... Jazzy doesn't use a long cane, hers is foldable and not long. It seems that her O&M teachers did not learn this method... none of the kids in our area use the long white cane, that I am aware of.

Sally, you were correct. The Coffee Culture is on the corner of Beca & Kings!
