See this content in the original post

Having to navigate the world around us can be a little bit tricky sometimes. It requires a good spatial awareness and mental mapping skills in order to navigate efficiently.

In this week’s podcast, we are so excited to have Lil Deverell with us. Lil has been an O&M specialist since 1993, starting out with a full caseload, in Australia. She then focused on clients with brain injury and children with multiple impairments. She’s well-known for her vision research where she will be sharing in detail about how she structures her research especially on mental mapping and how it correlates with orientation.

You will get to know how to subjectively assess and teach mental mapping skills as she shares her thoughts and experiences in the podcast. Other than that, Lil also has her own website which is filled with resources that you can use in order to better teach your students.
