Programs & Services:
Orientation & Mobility

Our Orientation and Mobility Specialists instruct blind and visually impaired students in safe and efficient independent travel skills as well as various daily living skills. They work closely with classroom teachers and instructional aids by providing information on safety issues within the school grounds, including the classroom and playground.

Older children are introduced to recreational activities such as softball and social activities while maintaining their safety, learning what to listen to while using a cane. The specialists may also work with students out in the community on how to access public transportation, grocery shopping and running daily errands, managing a household and holding down a job.
