For example, if I come to a meeting and see Jacob there, “I’ll say hi Jacob, It’s Liz.” And he’ll say, “Hey, Liz how are you doing?” and we continue to have an organic, “normal” conversation.He lives in a complex through Iris Network, a non-profit organization that serves people who are blind.He showed me how he uses his cane, explaining that it’s his “eyes” and as he moves it back and forth in front of him, it helps him determine if there are any obstacles or stairs or a change in the pavement.We went back to his apartment, he walked me out the building as I was leaving so he could show me the courtyard and get some more steps in – he keeps track of his walking steps and publishes the number daily on Facebook.As I left it realized it was pretty obvious that his intention was to go back to his apartment alone, and he didn’t need my help."
