SP ED 6460 - Introduction to Orientation and Mobility

Meets with SP ED 5460. 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.
