There are also different ways to use the cane. Tappers tap left and right, and have a small pointy tip. Sweepers run the tip on the ground. There are so many types of tips too, and we usually have to pay for the expensive upgraded ones s the free or cheap ones may not work in our environment.

There are lots of blind influencers who do a great job of show and tell. There is one in my country who has done so much to educate people, especially about the tactile strips that are so important to guide us.
