Abstract

A concept development program to prepare first and second grade blind children for future mobility training was established at the Illinois Braille and Sight Saving School in Jacksonville, Illinois. The initial concept work included working in a group setting to improve the body imagery, spatial concepts, and organizational ability of the six students in the class. Two orientation and mobility specialists then worked with the students on an individual basis to teach them routes of travel on the campus. Guidelines followed, material used, and observations from operating such a program for three years are presented.
