What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a professional reference manual covering the theory and practice of orientation and mobility (O&M) instruction for people who are blind or have low vision. O&M is the specialized field that teaches individuals to navigate their environments safely and independently — this book covers the full range of techniques instructors use to assess, plan, and deliver that training. It's aimed at both new O&M specialists building foundational knowledge and experienced practitioners looking for a comprehensive reference. You're buying a textbook, not a tool — it won't directly assist someone with a visual impairment but equips the professionals who work with them. Available as a make-to-order print edition or EPUB; digital format requires a separate EPUB reader app.
