1:30 pm: Finding Your Way: Navigating Your Thoughts and Feelings About Orientation and Mobility: Fall 2026


September 23, 2026

Details:

  • When: Wednesday, September 23, 1:30 PM–3:00 PM
  • Where: Zoom

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:

  • the symbolism of the white cane
  • the different feelings that can arise while navigating the world independently
  • the challenges and successes of learning a new skill

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.

Register for the Finding Your Way: Navigating Your Thoughts and Feelings about Orientation and Mobility.
