Dubbed the "magic wand" by many an individual new to blindness, the long white cane is a tool that gives back independence and freedom of movement. White canes are available from many companies throughout the U.S. and Canada, and vary in durability and price. One white cane, however, is entirely free of charge to any blind person requesting it. Actually, it is more than one, since you can request a second one after six months if the first one gets lost, broken, or left behind.
Another "magic wand" of blindness can be a braille slate and stylus. Even if your recipient has not yet begun to learn braille, the gift of a slate and stylus with a braille alphabet card can trigger an exploration of tactile literacy free slate and stylus can be ordered at the same time as the free white cane. For either or both, go to the National Federation of the Blind website or call 410-659-9314.
