Why It Matters
White Cane Awareness Day (also called White Cane Safety Day) honors the independence and mobility of people who are blind or visually impaired.
The white cane is more than a tool—it’s a symbol of freedom, safety, and the right to travel independently.
National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) highlights the talents and contributions of people with disabilities in the workplace and encourages inclusive hiring and accessibility across all industries.
