Resources links, and articles published

Below, we are going to list all of the resources and links we have used within our research for our project. We link to these throughout our pages here at White Cane Travel, but if you just want to see a list, here it is. The page will be devided up among files posted, and links to external websites. We hope you enjoy what you see, and if something you'd like to see is not here, then Contact us and we'll take a look.

Files

Cane Info (17.6kb) a portion of a book that was recommended by a mobility instructor that sent it along as part of enquiries asked by myself and my partner. This is a Microsoft Word 2010 based file which we can convert if you need it. Contact us if you need a text copy, and one will be sent.
Sighted Guide Techniques (103kb) Another booklet submitted to us based off enquiries. This is a PDF file. Very valuable, although the link at the end is invalid.

That completes the files that we are hosting.

Links

The links section will have links to various sites in which we have linked to on other pages based on our research. We will also link to sites that sell canes and cane accessories, although it won't be an exhaustive list. If you find a resource that you'd like us to list, please Contact the WCT team so we can add it.

Articles published

I have started publishing on a site called Vocal. Here, I'll put the list of articles specific to white Cane Travel's topics which include mobility, travel, and other things of that nature which include cane travel. There may be rough drafts of the articles posted to our blog and list, however, the articles may change as its edited, imaged, and spell checked. I do spell check here, but sometimes, a good pair of eyes can spot something the spell checker finds and we can't find it. I hope you'll enjoy the articles listed here.
