Abstract

Orientation involves understanding or comprehending the location of the desired destination, while mobility pertains to safe and efficient movement within the environment. This study examines the life experiences of students with blindness at Haramaya University, Ethiopia, in learning and using Orientation and Mobility (O&M) skills. The research used a descriptive phenomenological design, with five participants purposively chosen based on their severity of vision loss and willingness. Based on the findings, three main themes emerged: formal learning and use, informal learning and use, and absence of learning and non-use. The study recommends appropriate teaching aids and techniques to improve O&M skills for individuals with blindness and to enhance the lives of individuals with blindness.
