Getting Around

Orientation and mobility is the science of teaching blind people to travel without help from others. Most blind people use the long white cane. By tapping the cane back and forth ahead of them, blind people can feel curbs, steps, poles, mailboxes, and other objects. They learn to cross the street by listening to the sounds of traffic.
