What Is Structured Discovery?
Structured Discovery is a dynamic approach to learning orientation and mobility that’s all about exploring, problem-solving, and discovering for yourself. Rather than being told each step, you’re encouraged to use your other senses, build confidence, and develop the skills that truly support independent travel.
This method recognises that people who are blind or have low vision experience the world in unique and valuable ways. Sight isn’t the only way to understand the world — there are countless ways of knowing, navigating, and discovering.
At GOING PLACES ORIENTATION AND MOBILITY, we partner with you to find your best learning style. Together, we blend Structured Discovery with the latest assistive technologies — from GPS navigation and AI-driven tools to wearable devices and emerging augmented reality solutions. With these tools, combined with proven teaching methods, you’ll have even more opportunities to build freedom, resilience, and independence.
