Abstract
This survey of the current status of the specialized field of orientation and mobility instruction—based on 317 questionnaires returned by the administrators of agencies and schools serving blind persons, day-school programs, hospitals, and residential schools for other handicapped persons—collected data on the number of specialists employed, the present and future need for specialists, desired level of training, starting salaries, and other duties. The authors conclude that because of the current and expected levels of employment in this field and the recruitment preferences of administrators, university-level training of orientation and mobility specialists should be expanded.
