What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 17, 2026
This is a professional reference guide covering how to teach orientation and mobility (O&M) skills to older adults who are experiencing vision loss, often for the first time. O&M is the discipline of helping people navigate safely and independently — cane techniques, route planning, using landmarks — and this book addresses how those methods need to be adapted for aging learners. It's written for O&M specialists, rehabilitation teachers, occupational therapists, and similar professionals, not for individuals with vision loss themselves. The EPUB format means you'll need a compatible e-reader app (Kindle, Apple Books, Adobe Digital Editions) to read it — it's not a print book or a PDF, and the sale is final once purchased.
