Correct. Yes, a long white cane is used to avoid obstacles and navigate using kerbs and tactile paving if you have restricted or no vision. And did you know that there are three more types of canes, each meaning something different? A symbol cane: to say you have low but useful vision; a guide cane to find obstacles before they find you (!); and a red and white banded cane, to show to others you have low hearing and vision.
Incorrect Sadly, a long cane would be of little use to find treasure, but it is a great way to avoid obstacles and navigate using kerbs and tactile paving if you have restricted or no vision. And did you know that there are three more types of canes, each meaning something different? A symbol cane: to say you have low but useful vision; a guide cane to find obstacles before they find you(!); and a red and white banded cane, to show to others you have low hearing and vision.
Incorrect The long cane is used to avoid obstacles if you have restricted or no vision and navigate using kerbs and tactile paving. You were thinking of a symbol cane which is shorter and shows others you have low but useful vision. In addition to the long and symbol cane there is also the guide cane, which helps to find obstacles before they find you(!) and the red and white banded cane, which shows you have low hearing and vision.
