I have used roller tips for people with neuropathy, and they seem to work OK. Have not tried it with a deaf blind client though.

I have heard that the rolling ball cane tips on a straight cane, are better for deaf blind clients as they give more feedback. I have never worked with this or seen this before. Has anyone out there tried it? Is there any logic to this? A client tells me that this is what the Hellen Keller Center is promoting out there.
