Orientation and Mobility Training (O & M) 

Orientation and Mobility Training (O & M) helps a blind or visually impaired child know where they are in space and where they want to go (orientation). It also helps them to be able to carry out a plan to get there (mobility). Orientation and mobility skills should begin to be developed in infancy starting with basic body awareness and movement, allowing the child to learn skills that allow them to navigate their world efficiently, effectively, and safely.
