What is an orientation and mobility specialist, and what do they do?

How do you advocate for your visually impaired child?

Tonya learns the answers to these questions during her interview with Traci Wilkerson, a parent of two children who have a visual impairment. After becoming a mom to her children, Trace went back to school to expand her knowledge of how to help her children and started a new career as an orientation and mobility specialist.
