White Cane

A white cane is a mobility tool used primarily by individuals who are visually impaired or blind to navigate their environment safely. Typically made of lightweight material like aluminum or fiberglass, the cane is usually painted white with a red tip to signal its purpose to others. It helps detect obstacles, changes in terrain, and guides the user by providing tactile feedback. Using the cane allows users to explore their surroundings more independently, enhancing safety and confidence while moving through unfamiliar or complex spaces.
