Orientation & Mobility Workshop at FOCB

Tuesday, February 10, 2026

FOCB students attended an intensive class/workshop, let by Judy Porro, our certified O&M specialist. She reviewed brain-based learning and important independent living skills, helping our students to overcome physical and emotional obstacles to confidently travel beyond the confines of their home.

  • Some of the things our visually impaired students learn in classes with Judy:
  • How to navigate your environment safely and independently through tailored training and support;
  • How to safely use a white cane or guide dog
  • Getting around with your wheelchair or walker
  • Using public transportation, airplanes, trains and all things to travel in your town, cities and around the world
