-
When you address a blind person, identify yourself immediately
so there is no mystery as to who you are.
-
When guiding a blind person offer your arm for assistance.
A blind person can anticipate your movements by walking slightly
behind you.
-
Offer understanding, consideration, and friendship to a
blind person – not pity!
-
Offer assistance when you see a blind person trying to cross
a busy intersection, but don’t be discouraged by a “No
thank you.”
-
Don’t distract a guide dog from his main purpose of
safely leading his master. Ask permission before petting.
