Always offer your arm to a blind person for walking if you have to move to another location. Also, explain what you want to do ahead of time. A blind person may want to walk slightly behind you in order to guage your body reactions to curbs and obstacles. Always speak naturally and directly to a blind person, and don't shout or use a third party to communicate. Also, don't be oversolicitious.
Most blind people are quite capable and lead full lives.
If you are leading several blind people at the same time, ask them to all hold hands. Also, don't pet a guide dog or give it food without the owner's permission.
