Sometimes Orientation & Mobility lessons don’t look like lessons at all.

This one involved something pretty hard to argue with: ice cream and new glasses. Somewhere between choosing a flavor and trying on frames, there was plenty of real-world practice happening, like navigating spaces, making independent choices, and building confidence in everyday routines.

It turns out that learning to use a white cane is a little better when it comes with a cone in one hand and a mirror in front of you.
