>The NFB Jernigan Institute is pleased to announce the NFB Early
>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 child's 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, Travel Tales (a
>quarterly e-newsletter), an informational DVD, and so much
>more!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
