This day has been scheduled to honor all of the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired, as well as the primary symbol of blindness and freedom, the white cane.
The white cane continues to be a basic staple for leading a healthy and productive life as technological advancements continue to improve the lives of the blind and visually impaired. The white cane extends a person's senses, allowing them to identify steps, uneven pavement, and obstacles. But it also provides a degree of security as a warning to the seeing public. It's important not to interfere with someone with a white cane or to direct them in another direction. The cane is able to find the correct way by a skilled user who guides it to find the correct way.
