Did you know that bump dots are a great tool that blind and visually impaired people use to identify buttons on everything from kitchen appliances to time clocks? We have bump dots of all styles and many other tools available in our retail store. Visit us online, or in South Austin for all the tools and resources you may need.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this week for White Cane Day at the Texas School for the Blind. For those of you who weren't able to join us, we want to share a bit of history with you: In October 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed October 15 as White Cane Safety Day, recognizing the white cane as a symbol of independence for individuals with visual impairments. Here in Austin, we’ll be celebrating with a walk from City Hall to the Capitol, raising awareness and celebrating this important day.
