About US
Mobility Matters is hosted by Portland State University's Orientation & Mobility (O&M) and Visually Impaired Learning (VIL) Programs which are housed in the College of Education.Â
O&M Specialists are professionals who teach individuals with visual impairments, including those with deafblindness, how to travel safely, efficiently, and with purpose in a variety of environments. Students in the O&M program gain the professional skills and preparation to complete the international certification exam through the Academy for Certification of Vision Rehabilitation and Education Professionals (ACVREP).
The O&M program is offered as an extension of PSUs long-standing Visually Impaired Learner program that has been preparing teachers of children with visual impairments (TVIs) to work with school-age children for over 50 years.
