- Summary:
- Partners in O&M: Supporting Orientation and Mobility for Students Who Are Visually Impaired is a comprehensive text that serves as an introduction to the field of O&M, with a focus on professionals who work in collaboration with O&M specialists to support O&M instruction for students who are blind or visually impaired. This timely new resource reflects innovative thinking in teaching O&M to children, provides a solid O&M foundation for future O&M specialists, and addresses concepts and strategies other professionals need to know to reinforce O&M skills. In addition to prospective O&M specialists and teachers of students with visual impairments, Partners in O&M will be of interest to general and special education teachers, physical and occupational therapists, paraeducators, and interveners, among others.
