Follow that Bear! Encouraging Mobility in a Young Child with Visual Impairment and Multiple Disabilities.
Tolla, Joan
TEACHING Exceptional Children, v32 n5 p72-77 May-Jun 2000
This article shows that unexpected gains can happen when teachers develop aggressive, innovative, and adaptive orientation and mobility (O&M) programming for children who are low-functioning. A case study illustrates strategies for using an adaptive mobility device, squaring-up, stepping out, and charting progress. Challenges to a successful O&M program are addressed.
