hey, let's be real.  sure, you can give all the mobility training
you want to some but they'll never be proficient travellers.  face
it, many of the blind populous have spacial orientation
difficulties and why remove safety precautions like tactal strips
from these people.  sighted people have many aids to help them be
more safe in our world, why exclude people who would need the help
from these tactle aids.  it's like theres one group who feels that
tactile strips inhibit employment of the blind, that's a lot of
that stuff you find on pastures...
