This is appalling!
I don't have the answers, but our professions need need need to be licensed so
that these specialized activities can only be legally performed by our
professions! I realize the problem of small numbers, but heavens, we need
licensure!

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).
