I'm Kinyatti Gakuhi a Salus university O&M student. I have observed young individuals with progressive eye conditions resisting using white cane because of perceived stigma of “advertising” their visual impairment. Safe, efficient and effective use of travel skills are predictors of employment and independence among young adults. My question therefore is: What is being done to change the negative perception of white cane among young people, who are mostly in environments of sighted individuals such as schools? Your responses will be much appreciated.
