Learning to use different tools can give people who are blind greater flexibility and choice in how they travel. As Ablr’s Accessibility Training Specialist Shannon Garner shares, a guide dog, white cane, accessible technology, or a combination of resources can each serve a different purpose depending on the person, the situation, and what they need in that moment.

Today is White Cane Safety Day, a day that recognizes the independence and mobility of people who are blind or have low vision.

A white cane gives its user important information about the environment around them, but safe and accessible communities require everyone to do their part. Whether you’re driving, biking, or walking, being aware of white cane users and respecting their right of way helps make our shared spaces safer and more accessible.

Accessible transportation requires more than accessible technology. It also means considering the full experience of people with disabilities and creating service standards that ensure no one is excluded.

Today is World Sight Day, a day that brings attention to eye health and the importance of access to quality eye care.

For Shannon, Ablr’s Accessibility Training Specialist, sight loss became part of her life at just six years old. Today, she encourages others experiencing sight loss to learn about their changing needs, explore the accommodations available to them, and connect with people who understand what they’re going through.

On World Sight Day, we’re grateful to Shannon for sharing her story and reminding others that they don’t have to navigate sight loss alone.

Accessibility should be considered from the very beginning, especially for services that people with disabilities rely on every day to get where they need to go. Too often, people with disabilities are forced to advocate for access that should have already been there. Building accessibility into policies and practices from the start creates a better experience for everyone, and it’s simply the right thing to do.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a time to recognize the contributions of people with disabilities in the workforce and the importance of creating inclusive, accessible workplaces.

Here are some important holidays to keep in mind this month:

October 8: World Sight Day — Raises awareness about blindness, sight loss, and eye health around the world.

October 10: World Mental Health Day — Raises awareness of mental health issues and the importance of access to mental health support.

October 15: White Cane Safety Day — Recognizes the white cane as a tool for independence and mobility for people who are blind or have low vision.

As we recognize NDEAM throughout October, these observances are another opportunity to learn, raise awareness, and continue building more accessible and inclusive communities.
