Harley, Randall K.; Merbler, John B.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v74 n1 p9-14 Jan 1980

To test a programed instruction in orientation and mobility, 44 multiply impaired low vision children and young adults (ages 5 to 28) were instructed over a six-week period. Instruction was in the areas of motor development, sensory training, concept development, and mobility skills. The experimental group using the materials showed significant overall gains over the control group. (PHR)
