ORIENTATION & MOBILITY

O&M Training

Orientation & Mobility training is the process of teaching individuals with vision loss how to safely commute to the desired location or navigate through their home.

Orientation refers to knowing where you are and where you want to go. Mobility refers to the ability to safely and effectively navigate from one place to another without falling or tripping.
