| description | This paper intends to examine the orientation and mobility practices within the Expanded Core Curriculum. The study conceptualizes and methodologically sheds light on the practices of orientation and mobility (O&M) practices within the expanded core curriculum (ECC) for visually impaired learners. O&M practices has become significant as these are essential in independence and one of the main components of the expanded core curriculum of visually impaired learners. The O&M practices are functioned in the school boundaries with O&M experts to facilitate and accommodate visually impaired learners for their better independence. However, owing to these practices, but not as a part of the expanded core curriculum, results less responsive to visually impaired learner’s needs (Aziz, 2007). Existing research has focused on O&M practices, which are the integral part of the expanded core curriculum for the independence of visually impaired but many researches were not conducted to address the O&M within the expanded core curriculum for visually impaired learners. Therefore, this study attempts to conceptualize orientation and mobility practices within the expanded core curriculum. |
