- Hear testimonials from people who are blind or visually impaired and their experiences with driver safety,
- Get to walk alongside the DBS See Different Team as they show us how to use a white cane, dog guide, and technology, to travel independently, and
- Have the opportunity to be a part of a live Question and Answer session where you can ask the team any questions you have about the white cane law, dog guides, accessible technology, and more!
