A person who is blind or visually impaired will often utilize what is called a "long white cane." These can be purchased through various vendors or obtained through state rehabilitation services. They are trained in a method called Orientation and Mobility where an instructor spends one on one time with the individual. Training with the long white cane includes everything from navigating in the home, to crossing a busy lighted intersection.
The height of the long white cane can be measured, depending on the philosophy of the organization, between the sternum and the forehead. Long white canes were historically introduced with the Veterans' Administration for soldiers coming back from the war with reduced or no vision. The were originally made from wood and had a crooked handle modeling from traditional support canes used by the elderly. Now canes are produced in aluminum, fiberglass and graphite. They are more resistant and user friendly in addition to being very light weight.
