Editorial Review
The purpose of this book is to contribute to our understanding of Developmental O and M, independent movement and travel in blind children. Unlike many books and articles on orientation and mobility (O&M) for blind children, this one is not about the effect of blindness on movement. Such an inquiry is self-defeating from the start, as it often begins with misconceptions and deficit-thinking about blindness and the blind child s early motor development. Instead, this book is about the effect of movement on development and the importance of movement experiences for the development of independent movement and travel in blind children. It has a clear premise: blind children must become "active movers" if they are to become independent "travelers."

Well written

2007-09-15
It was very friendly written to make it easy to read. I was disappointed in that the book favored one organization over another.

Very Helpful Book

As a parent of a blind 7 year-old, I will use this book to help me to encourage my daughter to become an independent and confident traveler. I can help her learn the skills of blindness. This book would also be extremely helpful for a parent with a baby or toddler who is blind including those with multiple disabilities. Mr. Cutter suggests a partnership between parents and O&M teachers. This book would be invaluable in a O&M teacher preparation program and for current teachers. An in-depth discussion of cane use, selection, and teaching is discussed including the use of a "teaching cane." I was encouraged by the positive attitude of this book toward blindness.
