Polly,
I totally agree with you. Orientation and Mobility is so much more than what an
OT can provide, and qualified insured providers are essential for successful
mobility training.

There is an article in "The Magnifier" written by Joe Fontenot, MD, CLVT which
states that "...formal Orientation and Mobility training by an Occupational
Therapist may be needed. This could include use of the long white cane and
possibly even a guide dog."
If Dr. Fontenot is on this listserv, I would certainly be interested in how he
came to make that statement! (I do not understand how a person can seek ACVREP
certification for CLVT and be unaware of COMS).
