Orientation and Mobility 12
Orientation and Mobility 12 is designed for students who have low vision or who are blind and who require instruction in O & M skills and techniques to achieve the highest level of Independent School travel that is possible given the student’s individual capacity. The Orientation and Mobility Teacher and the student will determine which strategies would be most appropriate for a given student. Students are expected to perform the curricular competencies in increasingly complex environments.
Orientation and Mobility, often referred to as O & M, refers to age-appropriate and ongoing instruction in the skills, techniques and knowledge required for individuals who are visually impaired to travel safely, efficiently, gracefully and with as much independence as possible in a variety of environments.
