What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A professional reference guide covering orientation and mobility (O&M) instruction techniques specifically adapted for older adults experiencing vision loss. O&M is the field focused on helping people navigate their environments safely and independently — this book addresses the particular challenges that come with age-related vision loss, including how late-life onset affects learning new mobility strategies. It's aimed at O&M specialists, rehabilitation teachers, occupational therapists, and others on the clinical team supporting newly vision-impaired seniors. This is a training and reference resource for professionals, not a product used directly by the person with vision loss. Available as a made-to-order print edition or EPUB digital format — the EPUB requires a separate reader app, and the print version ships within 10–14 business days with no returns accepted.
