A new device is giving toddlers - who are visually impaired - a chance to move, explore, and learn with less fear and risk of falling.
For a visually impaired person, a cane is what gives them mobility and a measure of safety as they navigate the mostly unseen world around them.
However, toddlers don't have the physical dexterity or attention span to learn to use a cane effectively, so their exploration of the world around them becomes a bruising experience.
Not surprisingly, visually impaired toddlers become hesitant to move around.

BENGALURU : Travelling can be an enriching experience. While we able-bodied people look at ensuring we get the right facilities, visit the best spots and are carrying the right luggage with us when we travel, those who are differently-abled might find difficulty doing the little things while on a trip that we tend to overlook. In spite of their disabilities, these courageous people have travelled to multiple places across the globe.
Pankaj Kumar, a 19-year-old man from Bihar was born blind. He remained uneducated till 18 years; he sat idle at home not knowing how to live a life with blindness. Also, being born into a well-to-do family, he was ably supported and cared for by his parents and two siblings.
Veena (name changed), a 15 years old girl from Cochin, Kerala contacted Eyeway the day before her 10th Board exams. She is suffering from Bilateral Macular Scar which is gradually deteriorating her vision. Her visual impairment is more than 40% but still, she doesn’t possess a disability certificate. She hails from a low-income family where her father works as a “help” in a shop and her mother is unemployed.
Satish Mishra, 21 years old is from Varanasi, UP and he lost his eyesight from brain fever when he was 16 years. His father is a farmer and mother is a homemaker.
Ranjan Gupta (name changed) is 23 years old. He is from Chikali, Buldana in Maharashtra. He belongs to a six-member family of his mother, father and four siblings. His father is a farmer and his mother is unemployed, thus a low-income family. He was born with his eyes shut and his parents found out there were no eyeballs in his eye socket, leaving him blind. Though the child’s eye condition left the parents shocked, they never lost hope and always took care of him.
Sunil Kumar, 21 years old from East of Kailash, Delhi connected to Eyeway Helpdesk in Feb 2018 with a scribe-related challenge. He hails from a six-member large family where he is the only visually
impaired person and from birth. This is a low-income family, with both parents being daily wage earners.
The first time Rajesh Chauhan (name changed), a 70-year-old visually impaired man connected to Eyeway from Ahmednagar, Maharashtra was in March 2017. Him being a radio enthusiast, he heard the Eyeway radio promos and contacted the Helpdesk to find out more about the service. Since then he has been a frequent caller to the Helpdesk. In the past months, there were many interactions between our counsellor and Mojesh. Most of the issues he sought answers to, were regarding his financial needs.
