What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a Spanish-English phrase book and dictionary designed specifically for Orientation and Mobility (O&M) specialists who need to communicate directional and travel instruction to students or clients whose primary language is Spanish. It covers the specialized vocabulary of O&M — concepts like body awareness, spatial orientation, protective techniques, cane skills, and environmental landmarks — that don't map neatly to general-purpose translation apps. Orientation and Mobility instruction involves precise, safety-critical language, and miscommunication can create real hazards; this resource bridges that gap for practitioners working with Spanish-speaking individuals who are blind or have low vision. This is a reference tool for the instructor, not for the end user — it won't replace an interpreter but gives O&M specialists enough functional vocabulary to conduct lessons more effectively. Available as a physical print edition (made to order, 10–14 business days) or as an EPUB digital file requiring a separate EPUB reader.
