Professional guidance helps The book itself is simple to open, but it is a professional text rather than a ready-to-use tool. Its content is aimed at O&M specialists and trainees, and it works best when used alongside professional training or practice in the field. That makes professional involvement recommended.

What it is

Summary

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

Volume I of Foundations of Orientation and Mobility gives an overview of the history and theory behind orientation and mobility (O&M), the field that teaches people who are blind or have low vision to travel safely and independently. This is the fourth edition, with chapters from more than 50 experts on topics like teaching methods, sensorimotor functioning, and new technologies. It's a textbook-style reference written for O&M specialists, students in training programs, and others who work in the field. It comes as a digital EPUB file, so you'll need an EPUB reader app or program to open it.
