Orientation and Mobility Resources in LiveBinders

For those who are new to LiveBinders… LiveBinder is a site for sharing information, similar to Dropbox in that you do not need to have an account to access the files. What makes it a “Live” repository/binder is that the links that are in it are brought in each time you visit so that if a Web page that is linked updates it’s site, you are seeing the live site with all the updates. You can also add PDF files, Microsoft Word files, YouTube videos, etc.


There are many LiveBinders to look through. A few that may be of interest for parents are:


Ways for Families to Develop Orientation and Mobility (O&M) Growth


Role Models who are Blind and Deafblind


Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC)


The LiveBinders for Orientation and Mobility are meant to be a resource for whomever would like to use them; you can share them, download files, give the link to Teams or families, etc. Here is the link to the Orientation and Mobility Shelf so far, LiveBinders O&M Shelf
