Mobility Device for Toddlers Survey

Question Title

Toddler Cane Feedback
You have just viewed 4 short video clips of a 27-month old toddler with low vision walking in a long narrow hallway with 4 mobility options. The toddler was not videotaped using a hand-held AMD, however her gait was reported similar to the long cane, her independent use of a hand-held cane/AMD has been unsuccessful, as her forward protection was found to be inconsistent because of immature motor control. Her most common method of walking in school and at home is without any device (mobility option 4). The toddler’s parents and an orientation and mobility (O&M) specialist were with her as she walked.

Please answer the following questions about the Toddler Cane.
