 Orientation & Mobility

Orientation and Mobility is the science of travel for those who are blind or visually impaired. From mobility inside the home to travel across the world, O&M offers instruction in the skills necessary for successful, independent, and efficient travel. By answering the 3 questions, Where am I? Where do I want to go? and How do I get there?, an individual with limited vision can safely travel from here to there.

ABOUT US >

CWAB® was organized on October 9, 1975 when the charter was filed with the state of West Virginia by Charles Harris of Huntington, WV.

The preamble to the bylaws reads in part, “We, the blind of Cabell and Wayne Counties, bind ourselves to the cause of exploring, expanding and exploiting our abilities as free and equal citizens.

We are the blind speaking for ourselves, relying upon each other for the accomplishment of those goals defined for ourselves by ourselves.”
