LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Texas Tech University students are getting a lesson in what it takes to navigate the world without the ability to see.

Students in an orientation and mobility program are switching roles, learning how to walk with little to no sight and the proper way to guide someone."So, by the time they're done, they'll have seen everything that they need to be able to teach to someone who's blind or visually impaired," said Troy Abrams, instructor.

Abrams said hands-on experience is important, making sure everything is broken down into easy and teachable steps."We take turns being the roles as the person who's blind, and then also the individual who's being the instructor for the person who's blind. And so as the instructor, they're learning how to convey all the task analysis to the person," Abrams said.
