      Does he use any visual guidance tools such as a seeing-eye dog or a walking cane? Yes, he uses a long white sensory stick to help him navigate if he is walking unaided. However, he will need assistance on very rough tracks, steep flights of steps, or very uneven ground - as he is likely to make slow progress.
