Correct most of it is graduate school what about psychology fits in very well. Psych and then masters in vr? Any such degree is grad school even tvi or o&m and assistive tech.

Look into the Louisiana Tech program, they are highly recommended for those who want to teach the blind. They have realy good scholarships for applicants too.

Many of my coworkers come from all sorts of backgrounds. One was from kinesiology, a few others were from ECE (Early Childhood education). Myself, I come from a sociology background (which wasn't too helpful, to be honest), but I also had some experience with teaching.

One important skill you want to learn is how to break down a goal (for O&M, let's say a route to a store) into it's component parts. You'd need to learn how to travel safely, how to check for drop-offs, how to cross the street.

Another important skill is problem solving. Using another O&M example, we often teach elevator buttons by feeling the buttons to identify the rows, and then counting down the columns (for example, a person's floor could be on the right row, 3 down). What can be done if the client has a problem with tactile sensations and can't feel those details? Things like that. They do train for it, to some degree, but you also sometimes need to think of other solutions.

Maybe occupational therapy?
