4 year old Gavin using his white cane to navigate down a curb independently.
I can do it! 4 yr old Gavin, who is completely blind, using his cane independently attempting to step down a curb. You can tell he was unsure, yet, he is a lesson in bravery! He has been using his cane independently for a few months now, we have just been working on his steps/curbs/stairs with the cane. He had to talk his way through this, but he did not want any help!
