MABVI Expanding Orientation & Mobility Services

MABVI’s orientation and mobility (O&M) services are expanding the populations they serve in the Greater Boston and Metro West regions to include those in the community who have vision impairment but are not legally blind.

O&M involves teaching safe, efficient, and effective travel skills. Our O&M specialists travel to the individual’s own environment, be it at a private residence, work, day or residential program, or nursing home.

There, they provide instruction that can help them develop or relearn the skills and concepts they need to travel safely and independently both within their own home and in the community. Our service model is based on a three-tiered approach: direct services, consultative services, and education and advocacy.

This expansion of services will allow us to provide needed support to even more people, including those who are coping with vision loss but are not legally blind, helping them to remain as safe, confident, and independent as possible.
