Description of CE Program/Activity
 Orientation and Mobility Specialist (OMS) in Iowa work with a variety of students who are blind and visually impaired. In order to meet the needs of each student, an OMS must develop individualized lessons which are designed to meet specific needs, while gaining feedback to determine the effectiveness of each lesson. The OMS must also engage in collaborating with other professionals to complete all necessary assessments. Learning these areas will be accomplished by having subject-knowledge experts present practical information, which the OMS will use to complete follow up assignments through an online course, and engage in professional collaboration on OMS practice and student needs.
