Navigating the world with White Canes

OCT 1, 202429 MIN

Description

<p>People who are blind or have low vision use different tools to navigate the world. One of the most common is called a white cane. White canes are long, thin, and lightweight with a handle on one end and a special tip on the other.<br><br>Join Molly and co-host Jaden as they explore how white canes work. They’ll log into an interactive game called Cane Quest 3000 where they&#39;ll use white canes to move through a fantastical world and capture a bunch of tiny, yodeling aliens! Then they’ll link up with <em>Brains On </em>fan Phoenix to chat about what it’s like to use white canes on the day-to-day. All that, plus a puzzler of a mystery sound!</p><br/><p><strong><a href="https://www.smartypass.org/" class="default">Subscribe to Smarty Pass</a></strong> for ad-free feeds, bonus episodes, and ticket discounts!</p><br/><p><strong>Today’s episode is sponsored by:</strong><br><br>- <a href="https://www.indeed.com/hire/audio-promotion-highimpact" class="default">Indeed.com/brainson</a> - Receive a $75 sponsored job credit with code brainson<br><br>- Help your kids learn to earn, save, spend wisely, and invest with Greenlight, the debit card and money app for teens.
