Partnership with Northern Illinois University

Posted In Categories:

Vision Forward is proud to serve as the host site for the in-person learning portion of this program, which is preparing the next generation of Orientation & Mobility (O&M) specialists.

Northern Illinois University partners with Vision Forward to teach students Orientation and mobility.

This semester, students are diving into their very first course: Beginning O&M — a 3-credit class that provides the foundation for this important field.

We’re honored to support this training right here in Wisconsin and to play a role in shaping future professionals who will make a meaningful impact in the blindness and vision services community.
