Orientation and Mobility (O&M) Services are critical to navigate one’s surroundings. O&M enables a person to know exactly where they are and where they want to go (Orientation). The next step is getting to that destination safely, efficiently and effectively, whether it be crossing streets, using public transportation or walking with a cane (Mobility). As part of our O&M lessons, we pair adults who are blind or visually impaired with Certified O&M Instructors to deliver skills for safe, independent travel in the home, college, community and city.

“I was amazed at how little I really knew. Thanks to the instruction I received, I am much more confident about traveling alone and learned quite a few things to make my life much easier and less stressful. Thank you.”
