What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This print book is a teaching guide for professionals who help older adults learn to get around safely after vision loss. It's written for orientation and mobility instructors, rehabilitation specialists, occupational therapists, and others who work with adults new to vision loss. It's a reference for the professional to use, not a workbook for the person learning to travel.
