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

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.

Summer gives children endless chances to practice social skills at playgrounds, splash pads, family gatherings, camps, and neighborhood playdates. One of the earliest social skills children learn in these moments is personal space: how close to stand, when to move closer, and when to step back. Personal space through mobility tools for social engagement is rarely discussed but incredibly important part of participating alongside your peers, not physically touching—alongside.
