NMSBVI O&M Inventory

The NMSBVI Orientation & Mobility (O&M) Inventory was developed as a means of quantifying student progress across the many areas that make up O&M. The goal was to create a user friendly assessment tool that quickly allowed an O&M to identify areas of need for individual students. Further, there was a need to structure it in such a way as to allow paperwork averse O&Ms to easily track student progress over time. The Inventory aspires to meet these needs.

This committee gathered ideas and resources which are posted here -- if you can add any helpful suggestions or information, please contact Dona Sauerburger.
