Independence Starts Early

Orientation and Mobility (O&M) services support young children with blindness or low vision in developing the skills needed to move safely and confidently through their environments. When the VIPS education team determines that a child would benefit from specialized O&M instruction, services may be provided by a Certified Orientation & Mobility Specialist (COMS).

UAW-Ford Mobility City at VIPS

The UAW-Ford Mobility City at VIPS Louisville is a 38-by-37 concrete area behind VIPS that simulates a streetscape, including curbs, a fire hydrant, a storefront, sewer grate, manhole cover, parking meter, and audible crosswalk sign. The UAW-Ford Mobility City teaches preschoolers with blindness or low vision the skills they need to learn to cross and interact with busy streets.
