What does a mobility plan in OandM include?

A mobility plan in Orientation and Mobility (O&M) is a personalized document designed to address the unique needs and capabilities of an individual. It includes specific goals that are tailored to the individual's skill level, preferences, and the environments in which they will be navigating. By focusing on individualized strategies, the plan ensures that training is relevant and effective, facilitating the development of essential mobility skills that are applicable to the person's daily life.

This approach contrasts with generalized objectives that might not address the specific challenges faced by an individual. It avoids the use of randomized strategies, which can lead to inconsistent and ineffective outcomes. While guide dog requirements can be a component of mobility training for some individuals, they would not encompass the entire scope of a mobility plan, which primarily centers on personalized, strategic skill development. This makes the inclusion of specific goals and tailored strategies central to effective O&M practice.
