Subject: O&M Survey with working link

Hello,

Please forward this survey to any interested individual/organization who you 
fell may be interested.


My name is Merry-Noel Chamberlain, and I am a doctoral student in 
Transformational Leadership at Concordia Universityout of Portland, Oregon. 
I am conducting an online study investigating confidence levels in 
Orientation and Mobility (O&M), post O&M training.  This involves how often 
and how far people travel away from their home environment after they have 
completed formalO&M training.


The targeted population for this survey are individuals who:
1)   Are blind or visually impaired.
2)   Completed *formal Orientation & Mobility (O&M) training in or after 
1999 in the United States. (*= Formal training consists of instruction 
received in a state or private rehabilitation training center designed for 
individuals with visual impairments.)
3)   Did not receive any *formal Orientation & Mobility training from a 
private or state rehabilitation agencyprior to the age of 20.
4)   Are between the ages of 20 and 70 (including the age of 20 and the age 
of 70).
5)   Are NOT current or former O&M instructors.
6)   Are NOT guide dog users.
7)   Do not have additional disabilities (hearing impairment, mental, 
physical or other health concerns) which hindersindependent travel.


This study consists of an online survey, which will take about a half an 
hour to complete. In exchange for participation,participants will have the 
opportunity to enter a raffle drawing for one of four $25 Visa gift card. 
All responses will be anonymous and confidential.
