Orientation and Mobility Training
Orientation and Mobility skills are essential skills that we learn both consciously and subconsciously as we grow, and they play a vital role in developing independent movement. Orientation refers to understanding your current location and where you want to go; Mobility focuses on moving safely and independently from point A to point B, with or without aids or tools.
O&M training plays a crucial role in empowering individuals to achieve independent mobility and develop a strong sense of autonomy. By focusing on diverse skills and strategies, this training not only enhances confidence but also transforms lives.
