Orientation and Mobility (O&M) is the practice of enabling people with low vision or blindness to know where they are, so they can get where they want to go safely. Orientation and Mobility (O&M) specialists work with people of all ages, tailoring interventions to suit the needs of the individual client, including people with additional complexities such as health conditions. Students will be required to complete approximately 350 hours of work experience including placements in industry partners providing O & M services (not for profit and private practice).
