In Ghana, O&M training for deaf-blind children has not been systematically structured right from the home through to the school level. Most deaf-blind children in Ghana learn their first O&M training only when they are enrolled into the Deaf-Blind School. In order to combat this reluctance and motivate deaf-blind children to learn and use mobility skills, the Ghana National Association of Deaf and its sister organization, the Ghana Blind Union in collaboration with Perkins International and other stakeholders intends to start a program to bring O&M skills to deaf-blind children. This paper describes the program in detail and solicits support because O&M for deaf-blind children is crucial in Ghana.
