What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 17, 2026
This is a professional reference textbook for Orientation and Mobility (O&M) specialists — the practitioners who teach blind and low vision individuals how to travel safely and independently. The second edition covers foundational cane techniques, navigation strategies, complex intersection crossings, and includes a dedicated chapter on O&M for people with low vision rather than total blindness. You're buying a training and reference resource for the professional, not a tool used directly by a person with a disability. It's a complete standalone book, but its value is almost entirely limited to those working in or studying the O&M field — teachers of the visually impaired, COMS-certified specialists, and rehab professionals. At just under $70, it's an affordable professional development resource, though the made-to-order print format means a 2-week lead time before it ships.
