Balanced, Protected, and Informed O&M for Active Daily Living

Touch is the sense that blind children use to learn about their world. Blindness/mobility visual impairment accesses same information through touch. And when we don't extend their touch, we risk underestimating what they can truly do.

A blind toddler may walk quickly to a couch, wall, or helping hand and still be delayed in independent mobility. Our new YouTube video helps parents and professionals look beyond speed and recognize when a child is missing the information needed to move safely through open space.

The Belt Cane’s rectangular frame protects the space directly in front of a blind child before the child’s body enters it. This protected next step can change mobility from hand-holding and collisions to safer, more confident independent movement.
