Structured Discovery Cane Travel (SDCT) is an Orientation and Mobility (O&M)
curriculum which focuses on the foundational techniques necessary to develop

future independence for students who are blind or visually impaired. The
ABCs of Structured Discovery Cane Travel for Children addresses essential
non-visual

concept development, techniques and mobility skills needed to travel
efficiently, gracefully and safely within a myriad of natural environments
while using

the long, white cane with a metal tip as the primary mobility tool. This
curriculum utilizes transformational knowledge and problem-solving
opportunities

through teachable moments to develop personal reflection and mental mapping
which can be utilized post instruction. These students maximize their
cognitive

intrinsic feedback while completing everyday mobility tasks. Parents and
instructors of children who are blind or visually impaired will comprehend
the

essentials of SDCT by reading The ABCs of Structured Discovery Cane Travel
for Children; in addition, they will receive a treasure trove of O&M
skill-building

activities.
