Summary
This booklet examines what Orientation and Mobility (O&M) is and how
it can influence the independence of a child with visual impairment or
blindness. The booklet is divided into four sections - Reaching,
Crawling, Walking, and Cane Use.
In each section, terminology used by O&M specialists is explained,
including "senses," "environment," "travel," and "space," and related to
the child's developmental stage.
The section on reaching notes the importance of stimulating the
baby's interest in the toys and people in his or her environment.
The section on crawling emphasizes the baby's use of all senses
as he or she travels through the house exploring new environments and
stresses the importance of encouraging the baby to do some things
independently.
The section on walking describes the developmental stages of the
baby pulling himself up on furniture and cruising along walls and
comments on the importance of arranging home furnishings for child
safety.
The section on cane use discusses pre-cane mobility devices such
as push-toys and procedures for learning to use a white cane. Numerous
black and white photographs illustrate the text.
