Independent Options for Mobility
Description
Independent Options for Mobility is a Melbourne-based partnership providing training and education for independent travel for individuals with disability. Our vision is a community where people with disabilities travel safely, confidently, independently and with purpose throughout the environment, using whatever travel device they choose.
To bring that vision into reality, we provide high quality, collaborative and inclusive orientation and mobility (O&M) programs, and work to improve community awareness of disability, in particular low vision and blindness.
