Hi Irene,
I feel that identification cane for the DeafBlind is an
excellent idea.
However there would need to be an intensive
advertising program to support its release.
The reason for this there is a lot off ignorance about
the white cane so introducing a new cane requires
intensive public education.
Regards,
Jennifer Weir

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.
