Safe Toddles Video Curriculum on Our YouTube Channel

Dr. Grace Ambrose-Zaken, foremost expert in early childhood walking in children with congenital or early onset blindness and mobility visual impairment, has released her latest videos for the second edition of her Safe Toddles curriculum.


Parents and professionals babyproof their children's blind walking during their recommended daily physical activity hours with a Pediatric Belt Cane.


Did you know that blind children aged 24 months should be active five to seven hours every day?

That amount of physical activity would be impossible to demand of a blind child without first babyproofing blind walking for them.
