SPED 5160 - Introduction to Orientation and Mobility

2 credits

Introduces students to orientation and mobility, as well as 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.
