I agree that deciding where to send a child to school is a challenging and complex decision for a parent to make, especially with a blind or visually impaired individual. You raise an interesting point about whether it is easier for an orientation or mobility specialist to teach a child that will gradually lose navigational skills or is born blind. I had never thought about how that may differ the procedure for teaching and the challenges associated with gradual loss vs loss from the beginning, so thank you for raising this point!
