- Abstract
The article presents the orientation and mobility (O&M) instruction that should be implemented for students with multiple disabilities. When teaching tasks to students with multiple disabilities, a task analysis may be needed to break down specific skills into smaller steps. The O&M instructor must use the information collected to assemble and implement an evaluation of observable and demonstrated skills on the continuum of the O&M curriculum, depending on the student's age, experience, vision, and cognition, as well as any pertinent medical needs, such as a wheelchair, braces, a walker, an adaptive speech device, hearing aids, or headgear.
