Don McBride born 1936 became blind at age 11, O&M instructor before it was a grad degree.
March 31, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBThis week is a real treat- I found Don McBride’s interview, he was born in 1936. He is a great storyteller and gives amazing insight into what it was like to be blind child in the 1940s and 50s- he became blind at age 11, he attend residential school and so had certain advantages – but, there wasn’t white cane safety at the time and his older brothers were determined to toughen him up which included knocking his head into trees and poles with a warning he better play outside and well… This i...
Frances born 1952, RLF, prefers her Dog Guide over Long Canes
March 26, 2024 23:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBWe are entering the 1950s with Frances who was born 1952 seven years after the first white cane was taught to a blinded veteran of WWII. She remembered knowing that she had to wait to learn to use a long cane once she became 15. This is a terrific discussion of her dog guide use and paratransit. If you’re curious about the reality of getting around while blind – Frances is fabulous- After Interview Thoughts In every way I asked, it was clear that Frances got around on the arm of someone el...
Taletha born 1951 with no light perception
March 20, 2024 01:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBIf you want some assurances that growing up blind, waiting until school age to get the first long cane can result in a well adjusted, fully employed and outgoing adult- then listen to Taletha. She compares working with O&M specialists who were sighted and blind. Overall, she felt she should have had much more time with either one of them – she had a 3 bus a day bus route to school every morning – in Detroit. She described herself as someone who these days preferred para transit, “Because th...
Patricia, born 1951 - To Use or Not To Use the White Cane The conflict is real
March 02, 2024 14:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBPatricia Montgomery is a terrific example of the seeds the world has sown. People with visual impairments are expected to be visually capable and blind people are expected to be treated as if they are sighted. Blindness and visual impairment are the most blatant form of stereotyping and marginalizing of a disability group out in the open. Consider the slur, ‘what are you blind?’ Being Blind is a reality for people, and it means they can’t see. It doesn't mean anything else. But when you as...
For far too long adults have held an unrealistic expectation that blind babies will walk independently without the protection of a white cane.
January 29, 2024 03:00 - 12 minutes - 8.35 MBThis is the soundtrack of the video posted on YouTube. It shows footage from 1960s and audio tape interviews of children born blind in the 1950s. Marcia new she was blind when she entered kindergarten. She noticed her peers ran around and she didn’t. Running without a two-step safety buffer is not recommended. A 1966 blind high schooler is shown being shadowed for safety by a sighted peer. This sends the same message- sighted kids are more capable. But that is only true because he uses his v...

January 19, 2024 04:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBMaureen Moscato – a really good friend of mine – she is so funny. I found the original tape – It is worth a relisten!! She is much funnier than I am playing her!! Yay!! Maureen is a real treasure – her stories reveal a woman who grew up in the school of hard knocks and her resiliency go her through – but if you’re interested in the pros and cons of dog guides, long canes, waiting for O&M to get out of the house and be independent and blind politics and ADA- this is a really great listen all...

Marcia born blind in 1950 Classic Story of Growing up Independent without a Mobility Tool
September 29, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 74.5 MBMarcia, born in 1950, is an example of what everyone would like me to understand – she is such a successful person (may she rest). Born blind she was an independent child – from her accounts she hated the long cane as a child, and she didn’t need it. This is the story that every parent wants to hear – that their child will grow up like Marcia – a successful teacher, married and capable of a full, rich life. But I want to draw your attention to listen between the lines. She got her first lo...
Jerry born visually impaired in 1950 difficulties traveling at night especially winter conditions
September 19, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBToday I’m sharing the interview with Jerry, conducted March 11, 2001. He is visually impaired, but not mobility visually impaired, except at night. His experiences at night in winter snow demonstrate the resilience of mankind in the face of daunting odds, but also how alone people with visual impairments feel – never once had he considered bringing up his difficulties to a trained professional to seek out additional training and support or new tools to try and make his travel easier. Jerry...
Betty born 1950 with ROP first cane 1967
September 01, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 45.7 MBBetty grew up without a mobility tool – she will not admit to having any difficulties in her life, and on the surface one can attest – she is the embodiment of success. She is educated, she has a job, she is well-spoken and capable. As an O&M instructor – my interest is in the travel decision. She talked about using a guide to move about and she was careful to not say too much about – it -suggesting that relying on a guide, even though you had no alternative, is somehow taboo – instead of s...
Kathleen born 1946 with low vision and acquired a long cane at age 48
July 06, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 58 MBToday’s interview is with Kathleen, born in 1949 with retinopathy of prematurity. Her story life with this vision is one of living in the margins as far as getting services. She had no specialized services as a child, conceivably she was considered to have too much vision – she was not “legally blind”. She got her first cane at age 48 – for protection. She tells of many accidents that resulted from her inability to visually avoid obstacles in her path. Kathleen’s story is a story of low visi...

May 11, 2023 02:00 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MBJim said he wished he had had cane travel in grade school – instead of always sitting on the sidelines. He remembered moving about without the long cane and didn’t recall getting hurt, but when he attended his reunion getting about the campus as an adult he didn’t understand, how he managed without a long cane, because he bumped into a lot of bicycles. He was taught to believe that long canes were just needed in “big environments” but as an adult he realized that a long cane would have kep...

Although long white canes had been used for 5 years when she became blind, one was not provided to her when she needed it.

The only solution they could think of wa...

Terri Born 1933 Mobility Visually Impaired Never had O&M instruction
February 19, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 50 MBTerri prophetically remarked that without the radio’s noise as a beacon she would “end up going off track 2” is chilling for many reasons. First and foremost, that Terri died exactly as she prophesized, she walked (without a mobility tool) off track 2 into the path of an Amtrak train. One problem that may seem benign to sighted people, is her misplaced pride in fooling sighted people that she was not blind because she could walk a straight line to her coffee stand when the radio was on a...

February 06, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBSuzanne grew up with severe visual impairment – she had no way to know if the drop was 6 inches or 60 inches.

January 29, 2023 23:00 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MBMarion became blind at age 60 after a life of having one good eye and one bad eye.

January 06, 2023 03:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBNot to take away anything from George about his ability to travel – instead it is important to shine a light on the definition of independence and ability – George was first provided a short Lions Club Cane at 14- but given no instruction, save from his classmate. He was also given a long cane, again with no formal instruction. His entire life was lived in the climate of not one person in his life prioritizing safe mobility. What does it say about our culture that we insist blind children ...
Frank Born Blind in 1915 30 years Before The Long White Cane
December 27, 2022 02:00 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MBThe Safe Toddles belt cane is an early 21st century innovation –Some might assume the long white cane is a much, much older mobility tool. Who would believe that it is a mid-20th century innovation – the first long white cane was introduced in 1945. In the grand scheme of blind people – the long white cane being the only mass produced, ubiquitous tool for independent walking with safety – that’s relatively young. There have been schools for the blind since 1829. Agencies serving adults for t...
