Andy explains the use of guide dogs and white canes as Mobility aids to the visually impaired.

Guide dogs and White Canes

What does the world look like to a person with a visual impairment? How does restricted vision impact on everyday life? How can you offer assistance without taking control? The video tracks on this album simulate what the world looks like to people with a range of visual impairments, and show good practice when acting as a sighted guide. The audio tracks offer personal perspectives from two people living with severe visual impairment.  This material forms part of The Open University's Pre-registration nursing programme.
