Leprechauns are often described as Tricksters, mischievous, cunning, clever, elusive, merry, cheery, and deceptive which are also all adjectives to describe orientation and mobility specialists and cane travel instructors. So what we are saying here at saavi services for the blind is if you ever see our students out walking there may just be one of our leprechaun type employees out and about as well whether they be close by or a block or more away. Keep a look out for those tricky ones. Happy St. Patrick’s day from saavi services for the blind.
