How Do I Make Contact with a Blind Person?
When approaching a blind person, initiate the greeting using a normal tone of voice. Identify yourself and then inquire if your assistance is desired. If so, touch your hand to the back of their hand as a signal for them to take your arm. Introduce the person to anyone else with you and be sure to include the children.
