Orientation and Mobility Specialist
Orientation and Mobility Specialists help individuals with visual impairments navigate their environment independently and safely. They assess the individual's needs, develop and implement training plans, and provide guidance on various aspects of daily living, such as travel, home management, and social interaction.
Education and Experience
Orientation and Mobility Specialists typically hold a bachelor's degree in a related field, such as special education, rehabilitation, or social work. They may also have a certification from a recognized organization, such as the American Orientation and Mobility Certification Commission (AOMCC).
Experience working with individuals with visual impairments is also beneficial.
