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

The narrative that blind toddlers are lacking sensory information needed to entice them to walk is true. But it can't be vision...they don't know what sight is. Blind toddlers know and love touch feedback, and the cane frame allows them to claim the space ahead of themselves and use tactile signals from the cane frame to move with self-reliance.

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.
