What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A professional resource for Orientation and Mobility (O&M) specialists teaching safe street crossing to students who are blind or have low vision. It covers techniques, instructional strategies, and assessment approaches for navigating intersections — one of the more complex and high-stakes skills in the O&M curriculum. This is a teaching guide for practitioners, not a device or tool for students to use directly. The $27 price point makes it accessible for individual practitioners, though schools and programs often purchase it for shared professional use. Federal Quota eligibility means it can be funded through the APH quota system for eligible students, though the primary user of the material is the instructor, not the student.
