ABOUT

I am passionate and determined to create opportunities for people with blindness and low vision to meet their goals for independence.

​

I do this by:

  • developing high quality, collaborative, and inclusive orientation and mobility training and interventions,

  • providing assessments and interventions for children with cerebral/cortical vision impairment (CVI), and

  • working collaboratively with individuals, families, therapists, and education professionals to implement effective interventions.

 

Independent Pathways is based in Melbourne, Victoria. I provide orientation and mobility (O&M) and CVI assessment and intervention, which generally takes place in your home or local community setting. Services can be funded through NDIS if you are self-managed or have a plan manager. Private fees can also be negotiated for individuals who do not receive funding.

​

Interstate appointments can be arranged, as well as online consultations via FaceTime, Skype or Zoom.

​

My work is guided by the quality framework of the Orientation & Mobility Association of Australasia (OMAA).
