What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
This web-based publication teaches orientation and mobility (O&M) instructors how to train students who use wheelchairs and also have vision loss. It follows instructor Scott Crawford as he works with adult wheelchair users on skills like tight turns, going through doorways, trailing sidewalks and curbs, and using stairs and escalators. The focus is on how to size up an environment and solve mobility problems along the way. It is written for the instructor, not the traveler, so a family looking for direct help should bring it to their O&M specialist.
