How to Use a White Cane - Constant Contact - Blind and Visually Impaired

In this video, I demonstrate how to do the constant contact white cane technique and provide pros and cons. Constant Contact technique is a variation of two-point touch and probably the most common white cane technique for people who are blind or visually impaired.
This video is meant to be a review of the technique and not a replacement for meeting with an O&M Specialist.

Thanks Mike!

I like constant contact better because you get more feedback and you know where the pavement ends and a curb is. You do get it stuck but you will get it out and like you said constant contact is not as loud as lifting and tapping is .

I really like listening to your videos because they help a lot and you explain things really well and know all the problems and challenges that everyone has and what to do about it. I like testing myself with your name the sounds video and they sound just like they do when you hear them outside so I had no problem with knowing what they were. I think the most important thing is to keep practicing with your cane and ways to identify things and the more you do it you get better at it.

I also think the cane tip gets worn much quicker. I use two point touch if I need to walk a bit faster or the ground is rough, but otherwise constant contact.

Hi Mike! I had a quick question: what would you recommend for a visually-impaired person who has to navigate uneven muddy ground? I guess a sighted guide is most helpful, but could a cane or canes also be used?

Husband can’t see the video so the audio descriptions are the only way to understand. The more precise the better.

Hi Mike,what are your tips for legally blind adults with limited vision to walk on the grass while using a white cane,like me who has very low vision with cataracts while using my white cane

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

I think that the cane will not pick up dips or grass holes in the grass but I try to use different footings with my white cane but I am not sure what my cane will not pick up on uneven ground

Do people who are left handed prefer this method using their left hand?
