Orientation and Mobility for Working-Age Adults (O & M) |
| assessing an individual’s current travel-related skills, discussing goals, and helping her/him select a program of instruction that will allow for achieving the greatest travel potential | |
| teaching people to travel by using their hearing, remaining vision, and other senses | |
| teaching people to use a long cane for travel and to establish and maintain orientation while traveling. |
O&M specialists work with people across the lifespan: from infants to senior
citizens. The majority of clients on an O&M instructor’s caseload tend to
have some remaining vision. It is also common to have clients with additional
disabilities such as traumatic brain injury, hearing impairments, physical
impairments, or cognitive impairments.
There has been a national shortage of orientation and mobility specialists
for several years. Individuals willing to relocate generally have little
difficulty in finding employment. O&M specialists may work in schools, at
agencies for the blind or visually impaired, at Veteran Administration (VA)
Medical Centers, and at universities and colleges. Many O&M specialists,
after gaining experience in the field, contract to schools and agencies as part
of their own private practice.
Orientation and mobility is a profession of highly trained, caring individuals
who are committed to providing the best service to each client and who are
committed to a professional code of ethics. Many professionals in the field are
members of the Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and
Visually Impaired (AER) and are certified by the Academy for Certification
of Vision Rehabilitation and Education Professionals (ACVREP) which are
professional organizations that govern the field.
