BLV-6301 O&M Internship
This course is a field practicum course. Learners will be mentored by an ACVREP Certified O&M Specialist to apply newly acquired knowledge and skills into serving individuals with visual impairments. The emphasis will be placed on techniques and strategies for providing quality assessment and instruction to a variety of individuals with visual impairments, including those with multiple disabilities. It is expected that the learners will conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times and keep all appointments. Learners will also be assigned a Salus University faculty supervisor to monitor performance and progress.
In addition, this course will provide an online forum (Blackboard) for students to discuss their experience, exchange ideas and strategies with one another and the course coordinator, and learn about new products, resources, or journal articles. Students are expected to log into the course’s Blackboard component at least twice a week for the duration of the semester.
