Thanks for sharing. Celebrating White Cane Awareness Day - Orientation & Mobility training increases safety, confidence, and independence! #whitecaneawareness #orientationandmobility #visionrehabilitation #blindnessawareness #blindness #lowvision #lowvisionawareness
🌟 White Cane Awareness Day 🌟 Today we celebrate White Cane Awareness Day, established by Congress in 1964 at the urging of the National Federation of the Blind. The white cane is not only a tool for safety, but also a symbol of independence and mobility for people who are blind or visually impaired. It empowers individuals to confidently explore and navigate their surroundings, giving them the freedom to live independently. At CABVI, we see firsthand how the white cane changes lives, helping our clients pursue their passions and navigate the world with confidence. On this special day, we honor the significance of the white cane and the individuals who use it to lead empowered lives. Join us in celebrating independence, advocacy, and awareness! #CABVI #Cincinnati #WhiteCaneDay #NationalFederationOfTheBlind #Independence #VisuallyImpaired #Empowerment Video Description: “White Cane Awareness Day” text with images of CABVI clients using their white canes.
