Consistent protection and information from a reliable white cane arc prevents needless delays and enables children to develop fl uency in decoding tactile feedback.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:AER Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
