Subject: footpath diversion & blind studentWhat precautions should we take when diverting a route that is daily basis by a blind student (long cane user)? The diversion, because of building works, will be operational for the remainder of the academic year. We We are willing to arrange guides, but it would restrict his independence to rely on this for the next five months, so want to make the route as easy as possible for the him to follow it independently. Professional route training may not be an option on this occasion, because of issues outside our control.
