Outside? Here are some common courtesy tips!

Courtesy tips for helping people who are blind or have low vision, when they go outside!

• When they ask you for directions, make sure to be as descriptive as possible.
• Use words such as "straight ahead," "turn left," "on your right."
• Don't point and say, "Go that way," or, "It's over there."
• Let the person know about any crosswalks, road barriers or other obstructions that are on their path.
• It's courteous to offer your assistance in getting the person to their destination, but please do respect their wishes if they decline your help.
