About the Session
Supporting your child’s independence starts with understanding how they learn to navigate the world.
As children grow, their orientation and mobility (O&M) skills evolve alongside their cognitive, physical, and social development. This session will explore how O&M skills develop over time and what that progression may look like from early childhood through the school years. Families will come away with practical, everyday strategies to use at home and in the community to strengthen independence and reinforce safe travel skills.
Speaker
