Orientation and Mobility

A team of Orientation and Mobility teachers based in Brisbane can work directly with students with vision impairment on an ongoing basis.

In addition to this, they offer a range of programs and activities tailored to meet the individual needs of the student.

This may include consultancy, assessments in O&M, working with other school staff in skilling them to work regularly with these students, professional development, ongoing programs and programs of a short duration.
