Orientation and mobility (O&M) training is essential for individuals who are blind or low vision to navigate their environments safely and independently. Orientation refers to the ability to know where you are and where you want to go, while mobility involves moving safely and efficiently from one place to another. These skills are vital for fostering independence and confidence, enabling individuals to perform daily activities, travel to work or school, and participate in social and recreational activities. O&M training encompasses various techniques and tools, including the use of human guide skills, white cane use, guide dog preparation, sensory cues, smartphone apps for route-planning, and riding public transportation. The training is provided by certified O&M specialists who tailor the training to each individual’s specific needs and abilities.
