The Role of the Teacher in Orientation and Mobility Services for the Visually Impaired

"The Role of the Teacher in Orientation and Mobility Services for the Visually Challenged" is designed to be a resource for mobility specialists, teachers, and other school personnel who work with the visually challenged, community agencies for the handicapped, and their parents and family members as well.

“Aiding the blind to become contributing members to society is the major thrust of rehabilitation in mobility,” says the author, Dr. Ellavea Garrett Motley, who has a Ph.D. in orientation and mobility from the Union Institute of Cincinnati, Ohio.

This book presents a detailed account of how to develop mobility skills. Imagine having to climb stairs, navigate a revolving door, locate seating in a public place, catch a bus, or cross a street in traffic without being able to see. Anyone ever faced with these challenges – or the job of helping someone learn to face them – will benefit from the techniques outlined within Dr. Motley’s "The Role of the Teacher in Orientation and Mobility Services for the Visually Challenged."
