Vision
Vision assistive products that assist a person to move about
White canes assist a person with low, or no vision, to move about.
The white cane gives the user information about the environment they are travelling through.
Meet Michael
Michael uses a white cane to get to and from school, as well as to move safely around his classroom and the playground.
His white cane is also a good way for people around him to know that he cannot see.
Michael had a support worker teach him how to use his white cane. They practiced together at home, in the classroom and in the playground. When he was confident they then practiced walking to and from school. Now he can do this on his own or with his friends.
