Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop programed instruction in orientation and mobility for multiply impaired blind children. Scales were developed for each of four major areas: motor development, sensory training, concept development, and mobility skills. Programed instruction was written for each of these scales. The programed instruction was validated with 40 multiply impaired blind children in nine facilities in a 16 week field test. The experimental group using the programed instructional materials demonstrated significant overall performance gains over a control group.Keywords
