We’ve all been there: you want to help, but you don’t want to make it awkward.

A simple rule of thumb: ask first, and let the person lead. If they’d like guiding, offer your arm so they can hold you (rather than being grabbed or steered). Small details help too: say if you’re stepping down, and don’t walk away without telling them.

We’ve put together a short guide on what to say, what not to do, and how to guide respectfully, which you can read on our website via the link below. 💛

There's a widespread AT&T cellular network outage affecting the US. If you use AT&T as your phone provider you may not be able to make or receive calls and messages due to this outage. Likewise, you may not be able to reach someone who is using AT&T.

If you're a family member or friend who play a supportive role for someone who's blind or visually impaired, and you're unable to reach them at this moment, please be aware of this situation. If you have a pressing concern, please contact your local police or emergency departments.

We're hoping that AT&T can resolve this issue soon. Stay safe.
