Orientation and Mobility Visual Impairment Scale of Service Intensity of Texas
Guidelines to determine the needs of students who are blind or visually impaired for Orientation and Mobility service
The O&M VISSIT: Orientation & Mobility Visual Impairment Scale of Service Intensity of Texas is designed to guide orientation and mobility (O&M) specialists in determining the type and amount of itinerant O&M services to recommend for students on their caseload. The Individualized Education Program (IEP) committee will typically rely upon the O&M specialist for this recommendation. This scale supports the O&M specialist in quantifying information for the IEP committee. It is hoped that the O&M VISSIT will provide guidance so that all students with visual impairments get the benefit of an appropriate amount and type of O&M service.
