Overview

The Rehabilitation of the Blind programs at University of Arkansas at Little Rock teach a reliable system for establishing and maintaining awareness of one’s position in the environment (orientation) and fostering freedom and spontaneity of movement (mobility).

Key Features

These programs educate future specialists on how to teach blind and low-vision persons to overcome the severe problems of mobility by teaching them to travel safely, efficiently, and confidently.

Programme Structure

Sequential instruction in sensory and movement skills is based on a thorough evaluation of needs and abilities related to the functional use of the existing senses and requirements of a prosthetic travel aid.

Instruction is provided in the use of adaptive equipment such as long canes, telescopes, and electronic travel and orientation aids. Specialists also teach consumers with dog guides relevant orientation skills to use with their dog guides.
