white cane
A white cane is a mobility aid used by people who are blind or have low vision to detect obstacles and navigate surroundings
Meaning
A white cane is a mobility aid used by people who are blind or have low vision to detect obstacles and navigate surroundings. In conversation, it commonly represents blindness, visual impairment, or accessibility, and often appears in discussions of disability rights, inclusion, and independent living. It can also convey support for accessibility awareness. Less commonly, it may stand in for walking aids or probing in a general sense, though that use is not well established. Because it can refer to either a person's identity or a broader accessibility topic, context matters when interpreting it.
