The OR Project does not have a separate section on orientation and mobility skills, but items are scattered throughout the curriculum. These items are usually a part of the class curriculum. They are included on the checklists to show the child's relative areas of strengths and weaknesses. Once the child is enrolled, the specialist will need to visit the preschool. Depending on the individual child and placement, visits may vary from three or four a year to once or twice a week.
Some specialists spend time in direct instruction of the child at school.
In this type of situation, one of the data forms previously discussed may be useful. The classroom teacher and the specialist may want general written notes about what each has observed if prescriptive data is not required. The classroom teacher may have several pressing questions to ask, but is unable to meet with the specialist during the visit because of classroom obligations. But by the time class is over, the question or problem may be forgotten and the specialist is gone. The Consultation Record was designed to be used for this purpose.
