The session will provide a general overview of the process as well as hands-on training using the attendee’s computer and MS-Word.

Roles and Responsibilities of the O&M Assistant
This session presents the results of a national Delphi Study on the roles of Orientation and Mobility paraprofessionals. We are reporting on an Orientation and Mobility Division survey that utilized a group of O&M professionals and a group of university instructors to understand the thinking of professionals in our field about this concept. Each group of individuals were asked to respond to an online survey and identify appropriate roles for the paraprofessional regarding O&M for all ages. This information was used by university educators to help establish additional consensus between participants. The resulting guidelines are the result of this two stage process.

A 21st-Century Strategy for an Age-Old Challenge: Introducing Teddie-Joy’s Law and an Integrated National Approach to Aging and Vision Loss in America
As co-chairs of the Policy and Funding Committee of the Aging and Vision Loss National Coalition (AVLNC), AER’s Mark Richert and AFB’s Pris Rogers have co-led the Coalition’s development of a comprehensive national policy strategy to holistically address the most persistent systemic barriers to the delivery of appropriate services to older people living with vision loss in America.

Learning and teaching basic O&M as an instructor with low vision
Basic O&M skills instruction falls under the purview of both a teacher of students with visual impairments (TSVI) and orientation and mobility specialist (Pogrund & Griffin-Shirley, 2018). In the course of instruction of pre-service TSVIs, we discovered the challenges of keeping both the instructor who is a cane-user and their student safe and developed systems that achieves just that. During this hands-on session we will share all the modifications we found useful to ensure safety and efficiency in the instruction of basic O&M. Techniques can be transferred to students with visual impairments to support increasing their self-esteem and self-determination in human guide techniques.

Let’s Get Cooking!: Developing an Adaptive Cooking Class for Older Adults with Vision Loss
Has your Vision Rehabilitation program considered developing a cooking series for groups of older visually impaired clients who love to cook but need some skills training, or want to learn for the first time? Group learning can be a powerful learning environment for motivating participation in an activity that can be somewhat intimidating when faced with vision loss. The LEBANON VAMC VISOR Program in collaboration with The VA Recreation Therapy Department is in the process of developing just such a program to roll out in 2024. You will learn about the framework we chose for the learning goals and some of the nuts and bolts of the design and implementation of the series.

Medicare Money: Miracle Cure, Mesmerizing Mirage, or Medical Model Meltdown?
For decades, vision rehab professionals and the private agencies that hire them have yearned for the day when the Medicare and Medicaid systems will fully acknowledge and pay for the services of our field’s professional expertise, as well as for low vision and related assistive technologies. While some modest inroads have been made on the Medicaid side of the street, our field’s advocacy efforts led by the private agency community in the past have been a colossal failure and, arguably, set the Medicare reimbursement cause even farther back. And yet, in addition to the seemingly insurmountable obstacles to coverage built into the Medicare system itself, support for changing the system has been far from unanimous in our field. More than a few consumers have fretted about the medicalization of blindness services, while still other voices have argued that the extent to which vision rehab should be reimbursed at all is already being covered by a Medicare system that does pay for OTs and others whose services are at least adequate to address the core needs of especially older Medicare beneficiaries. This session “lifts the veil” on the complexities of achieving systems change in the Medicare program, the driving, and sometimes competing, forces behind the reasons for our field’s past advocacy failures, and the opportunities for future change both within and beyond the Medicare system per se which may be possible if our field deploys the competence and courage to pursue them.

Unlocking Math Skills: Abacus Training for Teachers of Students Who are Blind or Have Low Vision
TVIs are often using physical tools, such as an abacus, with their students, and often benefit from professional development on how to use these tools and teach the use of them to their students. How do you access professional development? Do you wonder if there is a virtual space that you learn better? What happens if the time of a webinar does not work for you? Does a learning management system provide the same amount of knowledge as the webinar? Learn about a recent study where TVIs selected between synchronous and asynchronous learning environments for professional development regarding mathematics instruction using an abacus. Who learned more? Were both types of professional development engaging?

What’s New in Macy's Window?--Exploring the Latest Updates to the Cogswell-Macy Bill and Why the Future of Blindness Special Ed is at Stake
The Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act has been pending in the U.S. Congress for years, but little to no progress on the legislation has been achieved. This is largely due to the fact that America’s special education law, IDEA, has itself not been meaningfully updated since 2004. With the passage of time, the vision loss community has seen the need, not only for the original provisions of the bill, but the addition of new provisions that are critical to the delivery of a truly free and appropriate public education to children and youth who are blind or who have low vision. From new language addressing specialized early childhood intervention for infants and toddlers with vision loss, to explicit recognition of brain-based visual impairment, expanded accessible textbook availability, strengthened braille and other ECC requirements—the latest version of the Macy bill reintroduced in Congress in September, 2023 is, by far, the most comprehensive special education policy concerning children with sensory disabilities to be put before federal lawmakers since the enactment of Public Law 94-142. This session will explore the array of blindness specific objectives of the refreshed Macy bill and equip attendees with the most current strategies for promoting passage of the bill, as well as promotion of the bill’s policy objectives apart from any future congressional action to achieve policy and practice improvement at the state and local levels.

Including Blind and Visually Impaired Students in Computer Programming Education Through a Tangible Interface for Scratch
We will describe our recently developed accessible interface for the Scratch programming language, which preserves its lower hurdles to programming and high engagement of learners through specially designed physical code blocks and workspace organization to program a tabletop mobile robot. We then wish to have a discussion with educators about needs and constraints in adapting it into the classroom and computer science education.
