Choosing the Right White Cane

From Second Sense:

There’s more than meets the eye when choosing a white cane.  The material the cane is made from, its construction, length and tip all play a role in your safety and comfort when traveling. How fast you walk, the terrain you usually travel and your height are also factors a trained, certified orientation and mobility specialist can assess to help you choose the cane that’s right for you.  On Tuesday, June 22 at 1:00 pm, Eleni Gaves, COMS, will share what to look for when choosing a white cane and answer your questions about mobility training. Call our conference line at 312-809-1004 to join the discussion.  For questions, email Eleni Gaves.
