Orientation and Mobility

Traveling Safely and Independently: One of the greatest challenges for people who are blind and visually impaired is traveling safely and independently. This entails knowing where you are and how to get where you need to go. At The Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI), we have a staff of university-trained orientation and mobility professionals who teach techniques for determining locations and for traveling safely in homes, schools, workplaces and communities.

Our professionals provide instruction in the following areas: indoor travel skills, community travel skills, use of public transportation, street crossings, sighted guide techniques, vision and sensory training in respect to travel environment, use of the long cane and other mobility tools, route planning, spatial and environmental concept development.
