Podcast
RO&Ming with Lil – A podcast for orientation and mobility (O&M) specialists and guide dog mobility instructors.
Assessment Tools
VROOM and OMO – Assessment tools for use in ordinary O&M practice. VROOM measures functional vision for mobility and OMO measures O&M outcomes.
Stuart Tactile Maps – A clinical test of spatial cognition that predicts functional orientation skills.
Children’s Activity Books
Look out, Marcus! Growing up with low vision – A children’s activity book about low vision and O&M.
Gabby’s going places: How about a guide dog? – A children’s activity book about ultra-low vision and guide dog mobility.
