Mobility tools for vision impaired children are designed to help them detect obstacles, understand their environment, and move safely. These tools range from traditional long canes to more innovative devices like the belt cane. Each tool has its unique benefits and applications.

Safe Toddles receives a $30,000 grant from the William G. and Helen C. Hoffman Foundation—their second year of support—to expand early mobility access for blind children through Pediatric Belt Canes, training, and family outreach.

Playgrounds should be places of freedom, not frustration — especially for blind children. The Pediatric Belt Cane gives young blind kids the ability to explore, climb, swing, and slide with confidence by providing real-time tactile feedback about their environment. It’s not just a mobility tool — it’s the key to truly inclusive, independent play.
