> As you may know the National Orientation and Mobility Assessment (NOMA) is a two part assessment: (1) a Screening inventory used to determine if a referral for O&M services is appropriate; and (2) the Skills Assessment, which is used to measure progress on the IEP through the service delivery during the year. The NOMA was developed at Louisiana Tech University to assist school districts and O&M instructors in determining if a student can benefit from direct orientation and mobility services and what skills need to be addressed in order to promote independent travel. If you need more  information about the assessment or would like a copy, please contact Edward Bell, 318-257-4554, or ebell at latech.edu.

After considering the current concerns about needing a method to determine the appropriate amount of time that is recommended for direct service minutes in the area of O&M, Sheena Manuel, Outreach Specialist, has designed the NOMA Direct Service Scale. If you would like to add this tool to your professional toolkit, please email Sheena at smanuel at latech.edu for a digital copy.
