What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This is a reference book for orientation and mobility (O&M) practitioners, the specialists who teach people who are blind or have low vision to travel safely. This second edition uses an easier-to-read color layout with photographs. It adds updated guidance on crossing streets at complex intersections and a new chapter on O&M for people with low vision. It's written for the professional, not the traveler, so it works best as a library reference for someone already doing or training for this work.
