Description
Students are introduced to orientation and mobility and learn basic assessment techniques. Students learn to use the results of these assessments along with specific teaching techniques in pre-cane orientation and mobility skills in teaching children with visual impairments. Students also become familiar with basic indoor (non-cane) mobility techniques, learn to identify and teach orientation cues in the environments, and develop lesson plans to teach concepts necessary for future cane travel.
