Orientation and mobility is about far more than learning routes or techniques for travel — it is also connected to identity, confidence, independence, and adjustment. For many people living with partial sight or blindness, the white cane can carry multiple meanings, representing both challenge and empowerment. Co-facilitated by Bill Phung, Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist and Lisa Derencinovic, Social Worker, this reflective workshop will explore the emotional and psychological experiences connected to orientation and mobility. Together, we will discuss:
Through real-life orientation and mobility scenarios, participants will explore practical strategies for managing frustration, anxiety, and uncertainty — both on and off route — while building greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.
