"O & M"
The ability to move independently, safely, and purposefully through the environment is a skill of primary importance for those who are visually impaired. The O&M program at the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired often includes comprehensive evaluation and training in the following areas:
Our O&M staff is ACVREP certified (Academy for Certification of Vision Rehabilitation and Education Professionals) and are members of the Association of Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired (AER). Our O & M staff work as committed professionals concerned with meeting the orientation and mobility needs of all our students.
