There aren’t enough if any Orientation and Mobility Therapists in the country!
That means there is no one to instruct visually impaired children and adults.
So I am going to post links for people to explore this profession.

Imagine being in a preschool or play group or classroom with teachers who are not trained to adjust lessons to best work with vision impaired children…very quickly people would make assumptions about your abilities.

If anyone has interest or children who might be interested this is a great field

Sooo understaffed! My guys are 38 & 35 and it was an uphill battle for us too. Even though it was never enough coverage, for the most part all our O&Ms were great people.
