Anderson, Dawn L.; Baguhn, Sarahelizabeth J. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2022
People with visual impairments use a wide variety of sensory information to understand the world around them. Many persons who are visually impaired (i.e., those who are blind or have low vision) use some form of echolocation to monitor the space around them. This process of identifying the properties of an object may be referred to as…

Ely, Mindy S.; Ostrosky, Michaelene M.; Burke, Meghan M. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2020
Introduction: Anthony cautions that the training of teachers of students with visual impairments (i.e., blindness and low vision) and orientation and mobility (O&M) specialists covers a broad age range, which may result in limited curricular content essential for those who will work with very young children with visual impairments. The current…
