Hi Irene,
Thank you for this. I was trying to find out more about this recently,
but people from Guide Dogs and RSB said it's an orange stripe. It
would be great if people from every organisation could agree on a
colour for the stripes.
I would really like to have a cane that identifies me as deafblind,
and have wanted to find a way to raise awareness about this. I would
feel safer if the public knew I might not be able to hear them when
they try to warn me about something that may be unsafe, such as
construction sites or if I don't hear a vehicle coming and someone
tries to warn me. Also, when I get on a bus, it's hard to get the
driver to understand that I can't hear them.
Thanks
Jasper

Hi Everyone....................................................
At the WFDB conference in June. One of the issues that came up at the GA was
a Red And White cane which would show that a person is Deafblind. I am
trying to find out what Deafblind People think about this. Attached is a
description of the cane. Please let me know what you think. Would you like
to use this or not? Wfdb are trying to get it reconised all over the World.
Thank you,
Irene McMinn.
