Blind EcholocationFeb 10, 201525mGuest: Daniel Kish, Founder and President of World Access for the Blind The modern day Batman, Daniel Kish, has learned a clicking technique that allows him to hear the echoes that alert him of his surroundings.  “I discovered my ability to do this as sighted people discover their ability to see.

That is past history, let’s move forward and not use precious resources unless we know that we’ll get something definitive,” says Pizzo.
