Skyrocket your O&M teaching skills, without leaving home.
500+ O&Ms join the International Orientation and Mobility Online Symposium year after year.
January 28-30, 2026
What is the O&M Symposium?
Your Annual Transformational Experience to Become a Better O&M Specialist.
You work hours past the school day, trying to balance the million things on your workload with helping all the students on your caseload. But it seems like even though you’re doing more, your students still aren’t growing as much as you know they can.
This is not your fault.
If you had new, better ways to get through your tasks fast, you’d have more time during work to focus on your students.
If you had innovative strategies and support you need right now to help your students progress fast, every time you meet them…
You wouldn’t need to work hours and hours past the school day.
You’d transform into the O&M who is able to stay on top of everything.
And you’d do it all without sacrificing your personal life.
• Reaching 20+ COUNTRIES REPRESENTED IN OUR CONFERENCES
• NETWORK WITH OVER 560 O&M SPECIALISTS
Here’s what happens when you take action:

Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist, MT School for the Deaf and Blind
For me, the O&M Symposium was a great opportunity to see and hear presenters from our field whose names are in our textbooks and whose expertise we read on list serves. It was really fun to put a face and voice with those big names in O&M and learn so many great things from them "in person". I can't think of another conference that I've attended where so many people from all over the world could present in the same weekend!
Anne Evrard
Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist
As you know, this IOMOS 2025 was my 8th attending the IOMOS. I must say, even though I have a great experience teaching O&M (for almost 43 years), and being now retired, I really enjoyed this one.
The presentations were great, very professional and quite practical in our daily work. I am always amazed to see how much the Team is so efficient and to see your energy!
Chris Tabb
Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist, O&M Supervisor
Wow! What an opportunity to learn from great presenters. This is a relatively inexpensive way to attend sessions, earn CEU's, and interact with other Orientation and Mobility Specialists.

Best O&M I Can Be!

SPILL THE TEA, FRIEND
How many times have you come up empty-handed after asking for a solution in a group where everyone’s too busy to give you the support you need?
How much time do you fall to ‘trial and error’ to figure out how to help your learner?
If you spent just 1 hour/day or 5 hours/ week searching the internet for answers you don’t find, that’s at least 180 hours every school year gone looking for information where it doesn’t exist. And that’s not including the time you spend trying to figure things out through ‘trial and error’!
Assuming you make just $38/hour.
WANT TO GUESS HOW MUCH MONEY HAS GONE DOWN THE DRAIN?
$6840
That’s nearly seven thousand dollars of your time and energy vanished into thin air
Spinning your wheels trying to figure things out on your own and find information online is no longer a viable option.
When you start to value your time and energy, it’s easy to see how joining the International Orientation and Mobility Online Symposium is an investment in your happiness and success as a teacher.

THESE O&MS HAVE HAD!
“The O&M Symposium was a wonderful opportunity to meet, learn and share with like-minded professionals. This opportunity to hear from a wide range of experienced professionals from the comfort of my home and according to my busy schedule is PRICELESS!! A great value!! I will definitely do it again!”
Beatrice B. Johnson, Masters of Education, Certified Teacher of the Visually Impaired, National Board Certified Teacher, COMS
“Great experience, learning from the comfort of your home. No hotels, no paying for parking or misplacing your room key. Not having to get ready, just make a cup of coffee, grab a blanket and a notepad and you are ready to learn. When you are done with the conference you are able to quickly be home with your family. The speakers were super cool and informative. Why can't all conferences be this cool?”
Lauren Nieblas, Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist
“Learning more then I realized I didn't know, is what this Symposium is all about! We often think outside the box as part of doing what we do, but with these sessions we learned how to think bigger then the box. Tips and suggestions that I never thought of are already proving to get me over those plateaus I was struggling with in helping my students.”
Judi Lambert, MPA, M.Ed., COMS

WHAT EVEN MORE TEACHERS LIKE YOU HAVE SAID ABOUT THE O&M SYMPOSIUM!
“I have not yet had to teach roundabouts but I have been seeing more and more of them and always wondered how that would be possible. This O&M Symposium gave me the knowledge of what a roundabout is and what one should contain to allow our population to travel one as safely as possible. If I know of one that is being planned, I can take this information and advocate.”
– Justine Kylloe
“WOOHOO, another fanTABBuLOUS IOMOS in the BOOKS!!! Thank you and the team for delivering another successful symposium with quality presentations! Thank you again for all that you do to pull amazing presenters from all over the world. YOU ARE DOING IT! You were ahead of the virtual curve, now look at the fruits IOMOS has produced because of the vision you had, all of your time, energy, creation of an international team and the labor of love that you poured into it.”
– Angela Tabb
“Thank you so much for a wonderful 3 days of learning and networking. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I also loved the networking session that was added this year. Thank you for all your hard work and that of your committee.”
– Debra Legge
“I never realized how the complex the issue of glare is - the variety and types of glare and how to properly assess it. I assessed glare previously in a much more "trial and error" fashion. I will now be able to assess and understand my student's needs regarding glare in a much more informative way.”
– Nici DeCario
“You truly have changed my professional life after almost 30 years of teaching Kassy:) I’ve gone from having to attend conferences where if I was lucky I would get 1-2 OM related lectures in a 2-3 day conference, but now with what you have created our department gets 3 days of all OM from all over the world!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you”
– Heather Stout
“I wanted to thank you for the incredible conference. I learned so much and got so many great ideas.”
– Emilie Johnson
“This was my first year to attend. I like that it started mid-day (I'm in San Antonio) so it didn't take me away from my job for 3 full days. Also, having the hours run into the early evening and allowing us to view the presentations and earn credit for an additional 3 weeks was awesome! Loved, loved, loved having bonus presentations available! My school district requires us to earn continuing education hours after contract hours each year. I'm very happy that now I know of a way to earn those hours in the area of O&M (already included in the cost of the symposium instead of paying for additional courses) instead of having to attend other educational courses that don't apply to me. Thank you! =)”
– Leslie Schnedler
