Unlike the early years of the profession, when scant Uterature focused mostly on teaching O&M to working-age individuals, we now have research and practical guidelines that include information on working with young children, school-age children and youths, older adults, and individuals with multiple disabiUties and complex health issues. [...] our colleagues in New York State who have led a long and challenging effort for licensure deserve our thanks for leading the effort toward greater professionalism and respect for O&M. Attaining licensure is sure to move the art of O&M forward rapidly as a profession and enhance the visibility and remuneration of its practitioners.
