At Safe Toddles, we often find that the most meaningful support begins with a story. Today, we want to share one such story and express our deep gratitude to Ovintiv USA Inc. for their generous $5,000 donation through the 5 for a Cause employee giving initiative. This gift is more than financial support—it is a powerful reminder of how compassion and community can open doors for children with unique challenges.

At Safe Toddles, Inc., we recognize the importance of leaders like Chris and Dave. Their $25,000 leadership gift places them among a distinguished group of individuals, foundations, and corporations who invest between $25,000 and $49,999 annually. This group plays a vital role in expanding accessibility and independence for children with a mobility visual impairment or blindness.

Mobility challenges can feel daunting, but with the right tools and support, children can thrive. The Pediatric Belt Cane is more than a device - it’s a key to unlocking a world of possibilities. So, why wait? Explore options, seek professional advice, and watch your child take confident strides toward independence.

When a child faces challenges with vision, mobility becomes a crucial part of their independence and confidence. Pediatric mobility aids are designed to support children in navigating their world safely and effectively. These tools are not just devices; they are bridges to freedom, exploration, and self-reliance. Today, I want to share insights about one such essential aid and the broader landscape of pediatric mobility aids that empower young lives.

When it comes to helping children with visual impairments navigate the world safely and confidently, the right tools make all the difference. Pediatric mobility aids are designed specifically to meet the unique needs of young users. Among these aids, one stands out for its practicality and effectiveness: the pediatric belt cane. This tool is more than just a cane; it’s a bridge to independence, safety, and confidence for children learning to move through their environment.

Under IDEA, the Pediatric Belt Cane meets the definition an assistive technology device. When requested, schools must initiate and complete the formal IEP evaluation process to determine whether to mandate this assistive technology device and include assistive technology support and related services on the IEP.
