What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A web-based instructional publication from APH designed to help orientation and mobility (O&M) specialists learn techniques for working with wheelchair users who also have visual impairment or blindness. It addresses the specific intersection of mobility equipment and vision loss — a combination that standard O&M training often doesn't cover in depth. This is a professional reference resource, not a consumer product; it's intended for the O&M instructor or educator, not the person with visual impairment directly. At $4.99 it's a low-barrier addition to a specialist's toolkit, but it won't replace hands-on training or clinical supervision.
