The outstanding achievements of people with disabilities show that when given the opportunity to participate in society, people with disabilities are just as capable as their non-disabled peers.
Let's take a look at the Accessible Magic Tools that can help people with disabilities to integrate into the community.

Learn more about Guide Dogs
A guide dog acts as a second pair of eyes for a visually impaired person, guiding them along the way.
Guide dogs are not like taxis that take the visually impaired directly to their destination. The guide dog user needs to know how to get to their destination and then instruct the guide dog to go straight ahead or make a turn, while the guide dog is responsible for guiding the visually impaired person without falling or bumping into anything.
It takes a year to train a guide dog, first to learn to stay at home and then to adapt to different environments, such as shops and markets. Dog treats are used as a reward during training to help the dog learn to obey different commands. After training, the guide dog is matched with a visually impaired person. If the two can get along, the guide dog is used to help the visually impaired person go out safely.
Do not attract a guide dog with noises or gestures, and do not pet it.
Do not attract or feed a guide dog with any food.
Guide dogs are welcome in public places.
If you see visual impaired people in need, you can take the initiative to ask them if they need help. If you want to meet a guide dog, you must ask the guide dog owner for permission.
