Hello Katie, thank you for this information and it is great how are you are so excited about this. However, I don't think it's appropriate to use this email list for this due to other members who might not have access to something like this. Also, I think it
would be more helpful that in a few months you can demonstrate in person when we meet in person as a chapter. Thank you, Stephanie Mcgarry NFB seven Oregon chapter president<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I haven’t heard much about this, but did listen to a podcast where a man demonstrates using it. He was very clear that the smart cane is not a substitute for good O&M skills, and that the user needs to have good cane skills for lower body
protection. Here is the link to the podcast if anyone is interested, it is a Jonathan Mosen podcast:<o:p></o:p></p>
